About Me

IT Support Technician with hands-on experience supporting SaaS platforms, user identity management, and workstation troubleshooting across school and business environments (50+ users). Certified in ISC2 CC and SC-900 with strong foundation in networking and system administration, progressing toward cybersecurity roles.

My Story

Currently pursuing my education at Crescenta Valley High School, Glendale Community College, and additional coursework at UCLA Extension and Los Angeles Valley College, I've built substantial hands-on experience supporting SaaS platforms, managing user identity systems, and troubleshooting workstations across environments with 50+ users.

My technical journey has been strengthened through certifications including ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC), Microsoft SC-900, and Google IT Professional and Cybersecurity certificates. These credentials, combined with practical experience at Jazva, Inc. as a Technical Operations Intern, have given me valuable exposure to SaaS platform support, user account management, and technical documentation.

My hands-on cybersecurity training at UCLA Extension involved building isolated virtual lab environments, configuring network defenses, and practicing vulnerability scanning with tools like Nessus and Nmap. My home lab continues to be a space for experimenting with Linux/Windows systems, firewall configurations, and OSINT techniques.

Through my ongoing role with the CVHS Tech Team and various IT support positions, I've developed strong technical skills in Active Directory, network troubleshooting, and hardware deployment. I'm currently progressing toward CompTIA Security+ certification as I build toward cybersecurity-focused roles.
