I am a cybersecurity professional with a Bachelor’s degree in Computing Security from Rochester Institute of Technology. Currently, I work as an IT Support Technician II at Edutech, where I provide technical support and ensure secure IT operations. In addition, I am an Adjunct Professor at Finger Lakes Community College, primarily teaching CSC-272 (Linux) and CSC-273 (Ethical Hacking), where I guide students through foundational and advanced cybersecurity concepts.
My primary interests lie in penetration testing and red teaming, where I focus on offensive security strategies, vulnerability assessments, and ethical hacking methodologies. However, I also have experience in blue teaming, allowing me to approach cybersecurity from both an offensive and defensive perspective.
I am passionate about cybersecurity education, ethical hacking, and staying ahead of evolving threats. Whether it’s through hands-on labs, security research, or teaching, my goal is to contribute to the cybersecurity field by enhancing security awareness, mentoring future professionals, and continuously expanding my expertise in red teaming and penetration testing.
