Hi, I'm Nadine 👋🏽

Cybersecurity Graduate | CompTIA Security+ Certified | SOC & Offensive Security 🔐

I’m an early-career cybersecurity professional with a Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity and CompTIA Security+ certification, building hands-on experience through academic labs, cybersecurity training, and an AI-focused internship.

I’m currently building hands-on skills across defensive and offensive security, including security monitoring, threat detection, vulnerability assessment, incident response, penetration testing, and ethical hacking. This GitHub portfolio documents my hands-on cybersecurity projects and continued professional development.
