As a proud alumnus of West Chester University, holding a B.S. in Finance with a minor in Information Technology, I have built a diverse and robust foundation in both finance and IT. My commitment to service is demonstrated through my part-time role in the United States Army under the Pennsylvania National Guard, where I serve as a Financial Management Technician. My journey into the world of IT was sparked by earning my CompTIA A+ certification, which fueled my passion for networking and security. This passion led me to achieve my Cisco CCNA certification. Currently, I am employed at Customers Bank, where I work extensively with Cisco IOS, Cisco, and Palo Alto firewalls, among other cutting-edge technologies. I am dedicated to continuous learning and professional growth, actively pursuing additional certifications in network and security to stay abreast of the latest advancements in technology. My goal is to leverage my skills and knowledge to contribute to the ever-evolving field of cybersecurity, ensuring robust and secure network infrastructures.
