Cybersecurity Enthusiast | Analyst in Training
Growing up, I've always lived by one motto: be happy-go-lucky. That hasn't changed, I've just gotten more intentional about where I put my energy. Today that means my friends, my dogs, my family, and building a career in cybersecurity.
I leaned toward blue team because the investigative side is where the thrill is. There's something satisfying about reconstructing how an attacker got in, what they took, how they moved. Knowing how to prevent the next one is what makes it feel complete.
Right now I'm a GRC intern at Globe Telecom doing third-party risk assessments and ISMS documentation, while grinding through the TryHackMe SOC L1 path on the side. The more I do both, the more I think the policy side and the technical side are really just the same problem from different angles.
