I have a strong academic and professional background that supports my ability to tutor students in technology-related subjects, particularly cybersecurity, IT fundamentals, and computer systems. I earned my Master of Science in Cybersecurity Defense from New England Institute of Technology, where I maintained a 3.89 GPA and was consistently on the Dean’s List. My graduate work included designing and implementing a full network solution for a local organization, which required research, problem-solving, and clearly communicating complex technical concepts. I also have hands-on knowledge in areas such as Active Directory, NIST 800-53 controls, computer hardware, and Microsoft systems.
In addition to my education, I have professional experience applying these skills in real-world environments. As a Control Systems Security Engineer II at General Dynamics Electric Boat, I design and monitor cybersecurity controls, document procedures, and manage system configurations. Previously, as an IT Service Desk Analyst, I supported users by troubleshooting issues, building systems, and guiding individuals through solutions in a clear and approachable way. These roles strengthened my ability to break down complex topics into understandable steps, which is essential for effective tutoring.
I also have experience working directly with students in both structured and informal settings. As a Resident Assistant, I supported college students one-on-one, helping them develop problem-solving skills and navigate challenges. Through volunteer work with FIRST Robotics competitions, I mentored students of various ages, assisting with data analysis and technical concepts while building confidence. These experiences have allowed me to adapt my teaching style to different age groups and learning needs in both group and individualized settings.
