Summary
Hardworking and passionate job seeker with strong organizational skills eager to secure entry-level position. Ready to help and contribute to the team to achieve company goals.
I have shown great interest in a career in IT for many years. I am an active member with HTB, as well as other CTF providers, participating almost daily as well as constantly learning new things about computers and how they operate. Being fairly proficient in Windows and Linux I enjoy learning about how computers work from the inside out.
I take a great deal of pride in helping people and do so on a regular basis with friends and family with their computer needs.
I'm very eager to start this new chapter in my life utilizing all the skills I have obtained throughout my professional career.
