About Profile

A security-minded IT professional with a strong foundation in endpoint management, identity, and enterprise support.

I've spent the last 4+ years working across service desk, business analysis, and system administration roles — giving me a full picture of how people use technology day to day and what breaks when systems aren't managed well. My experience spans macOS and Windows environments, MDM platforms (Jamf, Intune, MaaS360), identity and access management (Okta, Entra ID), and M365 administration.


I currently support SoftBank Group's Menlo Park office as a Desktop Support Engineer through Saragossa Consulting — part of a lean, high-impact IT team in one of the world's leading technology investment organizations.


I hold a B.S. in Cybersecurity from WGU and am certified in CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+, CySA+, and ISC² SSCP. My goal is to continue growing from enterprise IT support into a role that blends infrastructure, security engineering, and automation.
