Melissa Dixon

Cybersecurity instructor and CTI practitioner with a growing focus on penetration testing. I have hands-on experience with recon, service enumeration, analyzing exposed assets, identifying misconfigurations, and documenting findings using structured testing methodologies. I design realistic practice labs, internship workbooks, and training materials that teach learners how to approach testing with discipline and clarity. My background in threat intelligence gives me a strong understanding of adversary behavior, which I translate into practical testing workflows and actionable guidance.
