Hi, I'm Sofia!
I am a rising senior at Carnegie Mellon University studying Information Systems with a minor in Cybersecurity and International Conflict.
I have experience in cybersecurity consulting, specializing Penetration Testing Services to identify system weaknesses. I am also working
towards obtaining my CISA, AWS, and CIPP certifications, with long-term plans
to attend law school in 5-10 years.
When I'm not managing projects or enhancing my knowledge in cyber law, I enjoy visiting my parents in Miami to reconnect with my Cuban roots,
or traveling to Madrid, Spain, where I grew up, to visit friends.
I will be graduating from Carnegie Mellon with my Bachelor's degree in May 2025, and I am actively seeking a full-time position
in Software Development or Project Management starting Summer/Fall 2025.
