Active SECRET Clearance

[Today’s Date], To Whom It May Concern,, I am writing to express my strong interest in a Cybersecurity Analyst position within the federal government or supporting defense contractor roles. With over eight years of honorable service in the United States Navy, including my most recent role as a System Analyst and Aviation Maintenance Administrator, I bring extensive experience in cybersecurity compliance, system administration, database integrity, and mission-critical aviation IT systems., Throughout my career, I’ve managed complex Navy aviation maintenance data systems (NALCOMIS OOMA) under classified environments, performed backup and recovery procedures, and enforced cybersecurity protocols. I hold the F02A NEC for Optimized NALCOMIS System Administrator/Analyst and am currently pursuing CompTIA Security+ certification (scheduled for December 2025). My technical skills include SQL, Tableau, Excel automation, and beginner-level Python scripting. I also completed over 3,500 hours of DoD-aligned system administration apprenticeship training through USMAP., In my current role, I support over 120 users across 64 work centers, maintain over 5,000 maintenance records, and lead system audits to ensure zero discrepancies in high-stakes readiness inspections. I am a collaborative teammate who mentors junior sailors, builds efficient workflows, and safeguards mission data under strict Navy and DoD standards., I would welcome the opportunity to bring my dedication, security mindset, and technical acumen to your team. I am available to work remotely starting September 2025 and can report onsite by March 2026. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to your mission and would welcome the chance to interview., Respectfully,, Sydney Shanklin
