About Me

I'm Riley — a cybersecurity student based in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. I'm finishing my B.S. in Information Systems & Technology with a Cybersecurity concentration at California State University, San Bernardino (graduating December 2026).

I'm a soon-to-graduate student with ~2 years of IT experience as an IT Support Specialist, where I deployed VPNs, maintained endpoints, and resolved incidents. I'm actively building my skills in networking and security, and I'm hungry to break into the field and keep learning.

I'm now pursuing my first full-time role in security operations, systems administration, or IT support — anywhere I can grow, contribute, and deepen my technical expertise.
