Bachelor of Science — Cybersecurity  |  Aug 2023 – Apr 2027 · Cedar City, UT

Minoring in Computer Science, with coursework spanning security fundamentals, networking, and systems administration — applied directly in the c0mpl1cated.labs homelab series and the IT Help Desk role above.

Southern Utah University · Part-time  |  Jul 2026 – Present · Cedar City, UT

Provide first-level IT support to students, faculty, and staff for hardware, software, and network-related issues. Troubleshoot Windows, macOS, Microsoft 365, printers, Wi-Fi, and peripheral devices through phone, email, and in-person support. Document and manage support requests via the university's IT ticketing system, and assist with device setup, deployment, and imaging alongside other IT teams.

BSides Salt Lake City · Remote/On-site  |  Nov 2024 – Present · Utah

Started as an event volunteer at regional BSides conferences (BSides Salt Lake City, BSides RedRocks) — setup, teardown, and coordination — and progressed into building CTF challenges for the team. Designed scenarios across DFIR, packet analysis, OSINT, and blue team categories, grounded in real-world attack and incident response patterns, including challenge logic and flag validation to keep everything stable during live competition.

Southern Utah University · Part-time  |  Dec 2025 – Jul 2026 · Cedar City, UT

Supported the full admissions lifecycle for prospective and current graduate and online students within SUU's Enrollment Management Department, serving as a university ambassador in a high-engagement, professional environment. Processed application materials against university, state, and federal compliance requirements, conducted outbound outreach, and maintained student records across Banner, CRM Slate, Google Workspace, and Slack.

Southern Utah University · Part-time  |  Dec 2023 – Mar 2025 · Cedar City, UT

Participated in the Utah STEM Action Center's women-in-tech programme, delivering hands-on outreach activities for high school girls, analysing project data, updating websites, and presenting outcomes at conferences.

Phoenix Art · Internship  |  Feb 2023 – Jul 2023 · Ludhiana, PB

Internship focused on front-end web development, building and maintaining web pages and applying problem-solving skills in a professional studio environment.

Enterprise network architecture, VLAN segmentation, naming conventions, virtualization standards, and a documented security baseline for the whole c0mpl1cated.labs environment — the foundation every other project builds on.

Single-node Wazuh SIEM — manager, indexer, and dashboard — with live agent-based log ingestion. Validated end-to-end: real events, real MITRE ATT&CK technique mapping, no custom rule authoring required to get useful signal out of the box.

Enterprise Active Directory domain — domain controller, member servers, group policy — providing realistic Windows infrastructure and log sources for the detection engineering work that follows.

Custom Sigma detection rules authored against real log data from Project 01's SIEM — the detection engineering layer of the portfolio.

Digital forensics and incident response tooling built on Velociraptor, correlating with SIEM data and detection alerts for full investigative workflows.

An AI-assisted layer over the SOC stack — triage support and analysis assistance built on the detection and DFIR tooling from earlier projects. Capstone of the series.

Deploying a single-node Wazuh SIEM on a freshly-discovered hypervisor — storage tradeoffs, two real bugs, and the moment MITRE ATT&CK mapping showed up without writing a single detection rule.
