Cy 24 Pathfinder Intern
Completed a six-week paid cybersecurity internship as a CY 24 Pathfinder Intern for the Department of Defense's Threat Systems Management Office. The program focused on pentesting and red teaming, preparing for the Security+ and Pentest+ certifications. Developed skills in offensive methodologies, reconnaissance, and vulnerability exploitation. Through hands-on exercises, applied these concepts to real-world scenarios and presented findings to both executive and technical audiences. This experience provided valuable insights into the DoD's cybersecurity landscape and enhanced my expertise in offensive security exploitation and mitigation strategies.
