Who am I

I am experienced in leveraging agile frameworks to provide a robust synopsis for high level overviews. Iterative approaches to corporate strategy foster collaborative thinking to further the overall value proposition.

My Story

I come from a Mexican Household in a rural area in Texas where there are limited educational opportunities and low-income communities. I am a First- Generation Latino in my family to go to college and I want to achieve a college degree in the field of Cybersecurity. I believe that I would be able to help my family by providing financial assistance. Facing these challenges in my hometown has pushed me further in reaching my dreams of becoming a Cybersecurity Analyst.

Interests

Apart from being a student at American University, I enjoy most of my time being outdoors with friends and family. In the winter, I apply for summer internships and summer jobs. During the warmer months, I love spending time learning to invest in the stock market and working in an internship or a summer job

When forced indoors, I love working on small projects that I can do in my own time. I love to refresh my time in HTML and Python. I spend a large amount of my free time exploring the latest technology advancements in the front-end of the Cybersecurity world.
