Skills
Three skills I’ve built across my coursework and internship, each backed by work you can open.
Cybersecurity Compliance & Policy Research
At RFK Solutionz I built and maintained structured CMMC Level 1 and Level 2 documentation covering scoping, provider considerations, and a six-phase compliance action plan. It was my first real look at how compliance frameworks turn into day-to-day operational decisions, and it’s where my interest in policy took root.

Linux & Systems Administration
I learned to manage Linux systems from the inside: users and groups, file permissions, shell scripting, and network configuration. These are the fundamentals behind both the security tools I use and the workstation deployment I do at my internship.

Human Factors in Security
Security succeeds or fails through people. In my research reviews, career paper, and group presentation, I examined why people fall for deepfakes, how workplace culture shapes policy compliance, and how cybercrime harms the most vulnerable. That understanding shapes how I want to practice: building security people can actually use.
