Defending networks.
Building infrastructure.

I'm an IT professional with a dual focus in cybersecurity analysis and network administration, grounded in six years of day-to-day enterprise support at Mission CISD — one of the largest school districts in South Texas.

That environment demands real compliance rigor (FERPA, TEA), fast triage under operational pressure, and the ability to communicate clearly across every level of an organization. I brought that discipline into my home lab, where I've built out vulnerability assessment environments, SIEM pipelines, and segmented network architectures from scratch.

I'm fluent in English and Spanish, graduating May 2026, and looking to make the full transition into a dedicated security or network role where the work actually matters.
