As a Systems Security Analyst at Acutec Precision Aerospace, my role involves leveraging my CompTIA Security+ certification and proficiency in NIST 800-171 to enhance our cybersecurity measures. With a foundational education from Mercyhurst University in both Cybersecurity and Intelligence Studies, I am currently expanding my expertise through a Master's program in Cyber Security. My time at the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, although brief, was integral in developing the practical skills I apply in my current position. The blend of academic rigor and industry experience enables me to contribute effectively to safeguarding our systems against evolving threats.
