I am a recent graduate of a 15-Week Bootcamp-Style Cybersecurity Program hosted by Per Scholas. In combining a rigorous academic experience with a professional role in the private sector, I have exemplified my keen ability to troubleshoot difficult technical problems, collaborate on teams, and ensure full compliance with data protection regulations. Recognized for improving efficiency and reducing fraud incidents, I have a verifiable history of professional success as both a student and worker. Professional focal points include cybersecurity, vulnerability detection, network configuration, system administration, system hardening, network security, threat analysis, risk management, and customer experience. In addition to cybersecurity, I also focus on operating systems, software, and hardware. As part of the 15-Week Program, I built foundational knowledge in the functions and purposes of internal computer components and peripheral devices, as well as the practical applications of various systems, software, and applications in professional environments. As a Retail Sales Manager with Urbanlayce, I developed and implemented robust data privacy protocols, and educated new staff members on secure transaction practices, data privacy protocols, and efficient customer service techniques to improve team performance and enhance operational security. I also integrated POS systems with enhanced security features, which drove a notable reduction in fraud incidents and improved transaction efficiency.Colleagues and professors describe me as a dedicated, analytical, and highly driven professional who can be relied on to offer superior solutions that deliver quality and timely results.I am interested in contacting former colleagues and managers, as well as other professionals in my field.
