Cybersecurity Student • Aspiring IT Security Professional

Building practical cybersecurity and IT skills through labs, projects, and documentation.

I’m Tameshia Scruggs, a cybersecurity student with a background in high-responsibility healthcare monitoring. I’m building hands-on skills in networking, cloud, Linux, Java, and security fundamentals while preparing for entry-level IT and security opportunities.

About Me

I’m a cybersecurity student who enjoys learning by doing. This portfolio highlights the labs, coursework, and projects helping me build a practical foundation in cybersecurity, networking, cloud, Linux, and Java.

Before transitioning into tech, I built experience in high-responsibility healthcare monitoring, where accuracy, communication, and timely escalation matter. That background has shaped the way I approach technical work: with attention to detail, professionalism, and a focus on continuous growth.

I’m especially interested in entry-level IT and security opportunities where I can keep learning, contribute to real-world problem solving, and continue strengthening my technical skills.
