Cybersecurity Analyst • SOC & Incident Response • DFIR Enthusiast
Over 3.5 years of specialized experience in Security Operations Centers (SOC) collaborating with international teams in 24/7 monitoring, phishing triage, and incident response. Driven by a passion for Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR), Human-AI defense collaboration, and community mentorship.
My professional journey across high-tempo SOC environments, engineering education, technical skillset, and defensive certifications.
I am a Cybersecurity Analyst with three and a half years of specialized experience in SOC environments, collaborating alongside multinational teams to deliver robust threat monitoring, alert triage, and incident response.
My technical focus is propelled by a deep interest in Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) and the emerging synergy between AI agents and human analysts to accelerate triage without sacrificing forensic integrity.
Deeply committed to continuous learning, I actively contribute to cybersecurity communities, lead mentoring initiatives for women in cyber defense, and speak at conferences to share knowledge and foster resilient digital ecosystems.
