What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a security role where I can lead with integrity, follow procedures, and support teams in protecting patients, staff, and the public. I want a fast-paced environment that values clear operations, de-escalation, and accountability.

I’m a security professional focused on protecting people and keeping operations running efficiently in fast-paced, high-stakes environments. I bring a strong commitment to integrity and following procedures, built across roles ranging from hospital safety to detention center leadership.

In my current role as a Courtesy Security Officer, I ensure the safety of patients, staff, and visitors by responding to emergencies, patrolling the facility, and supporting clinical teams with patient behavioral issues. I handle high-risk patient escorts, patient watches, and de-escalation of aggressive behavior to maintain a secure, calm environment.

I’ve also led security operations with strong situational control. As a Sheriff Deputy and Shift Supervisor of the Detention Center, I managed a team of deputies and operated the control room while handling phone/radio communications, jail payments, scheduling visitations, and civil-side responsibilities—while supporting critical transport and custody needs.

Beyond security, I’ve gained detail-oriented healthcare and logistics experience as a Specimen Accessioner and as an Observer of Specimen Collection. I’ve worked with specimen sorting, labeling, staging, packing, and shipping, and I’m experienced in verifying that collections are properly sealed, labeled, and not tampered with.
