Open to cybersecurity opportunities

$ about

I am a recent cybersecurity graduate from Miami University, looking to start out in an entry-level IT or security role and build from there. I like understanding how systems work at a fundamental level, whether that's networking, log analysis, or figuring out why something broke.

Most of what I know comes from hands-on practice. I run a home lab where I set up and troubleshoot my own infrastructure, and I've worked on a few real-world projects, including a vulnerability assessment for the City of Oxford and a self-built virtual SOC. I'm looking for a place to keep learning and grow into a stronger security role over time.
