About Me:

I am a dedicated and passionate cybersecurity student currently pursuing my degree in [A.S in cybersecurity] at [Miami Dade College]. With a strong foundation in computer science and information security, I am eager to apply my skills to help protect and defend against evolving cyber threats.

In addition to my academic background, I have gained practical experience through 11 months working with Geek Squad, where I provided tech support and troubleshooting services to a wide range of clients. This role helped me refine my technical troubleshooting abilities, expand my knowledge of network configurations, and develop a deeper understanding of cybersecurity concepts, especially related to data protection and system security.

My experience has equipped me with hands-on knowledge in areas such as:

• Network security protocols and firewall configurations
• Malware removal and system hardening
• Technical support for both individuals and small businesses
• Vulnerability assessments and risk management
• Incident response and data recovery

• Technical Advice: Provide expert advice to customers about various tech products, services, and solutions, helping them choose the best options based on their needs.
• Problem Diagnosis: Help customers diagnose technical issues with their devices (computers, mobile phones, home appliances, etc.), guiding them through troubleshooting steps or suggesting solutions.
• Remote Support: Offer phone or remote support to customers experiencing technical issues with devices or systems. This can include software, hardware, networking, or setup problems.
• Product Recommendations: Recommend products or services based on customer needs, such as software, accessories, or service plans.
