Originally from South Carolina, I moved to Georgia five years ago to study information technology at Georgia Southern University. I am currently in pursuit of the Bachelor of Information Technology (BIT) degree at Georgia Southern University. Building technical solutions that solve real-world problems interests me, along with network infrastructure, security, and defense. I have worked on several hands-on projects, including a custom USB toolkit designed for diagnostics and recovery, a series of hands-on labs in NetLab covering Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, Linux domain integration, firewall setup, Joomla web hosting, and system troubleshooting using Windows Server 2022 and Ubuntu. I am focused on continuing to develop my skills through practical experience, and I’m currently building a portfolio of work to support my career goals in cybersecurity and IT.
