ABOUT MILDRED OWENS
I am a dedicated IT and cybersecurity student with a strong foundation in technical support, help desk operations, and compliance awareness. My background includes hands-on troubleshooting, system setup, and customer-facing tech support. I am transitioning from healthcare document management into a tech-focused role where I can leverage my problem-solving skills, user support experience, and commitment to continuous learning. Currently training toward SOC Analyst?incident Response roles, I am gaining skills in network monitoring, log analysis, and threat detection. As a passionate learner, I’ve participated in Capture The Flag (CTF) challenges, cyber range exercises, and volunteer projects that build real-world knowledge of cybersecurity tools and practices. I bring a strong work ethic, communication skills, and a people-first approach to every task—backed by years of managing sensitive data, supporting systems under pressure, and helping others resolve complex issues.
