About

I'm a cybersecurity student at Christopher Newport University pursuing a B.S. in Cybersecurity.

I'm currently working toward earning my CompTIA Security+ certification as I continue building my technical and security skills.

My main interests are cloud, network, and defensive security. I enjoy building hands-on environments, working with security telemetry, and using those environments to better understand how systems are attacked and defended.

Outside of cybersecurity, I compete on Christopher Newport's NCAA Division III cross country and track & field teams.
