I am currently a cybersecurity associate at United Airlines, working on a rotational program. My current role is on the incident response team. Previously I worked at JP Morgan Chase as a security engineer having studied Electrical Systems Engineering and Cybersecurity at Texas A&M University"
I was born in Los Angeles, California, but I grew up in Mexico City. From there, my family moved around a good bit in Mexico before finally settling in Houston, Texas. From there, I went to high school at Seven Lakes H.S. and then started my college career at Texas A&M. I participated in a program called the Engineering Academies.
My time at A&M has been more than amazing. From being able to start my own organization (Aggie Lemon Racing) to developing my career, I couldn't ask for more
Starting college, like many people, I felt lost. In reality, I didn't know what I wanted to do for my career until I entered my senior year. That is when I took my CYBR 405 class titled Digital Forensics and Incident response. It is currently taught by John Romero, a great professor who was also kind enough to be my senior design project's sponsor and advisor. He has now become an amazing mentor to me.

From this course, I have branched out into the vast world of cybersecurity and I now know that I would love to be a part of it. Specifically, I am interested in penetration testing and incident response.
