About Me

As a proud Navy veteran with a passion for cybersecurity, I earned an AS degree in Cybersecurity and am currently pursuing a BS degree. My journey into cloud security is driven by a deep understanding of security fundamentals, risk management, and threat detection—reinforced by my CompTIA Security+ and AWS certifications.

I am actively building hands-on experience in cloud security through labs, projects, and internships, ensuring I stay ahead in this rapidly evolving field. My military background instilled in me critical problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to perform under pressure—qualities essential for securing cloud environments and protecting critical digital assets.

Dedicated to strengthening the cloud security landscape, I aim to help organizations implement robust security strategies, mitigate threats, and ensure compliance in cloud infrastructures. My mission is to contribute to a safer digital future by securing cloud environments and promoting best practices in cloud security.
