What I'm looking for

I seek a security role where I can lead surveillance, investigations, and SOP development; work with law enforcement; train teams; and support field operations.

I am a security specialist with eight years of experience across embassy protection, surveillance detection, airport security, and criminal investigations. I have served as a Foreign Service National Investigator for the U.S. Embassy in Cameroon and as an airport security officer with the Cameroon Civil Aviation Authority, leading CCTV/access-control teams and coordinating security for field operations and high-profile visits.

I produce regular security analysis and countrywide incident reporting, develop and implement SOPs, conduct background and criminal investigations, and liaise with national law enforcement for tactical support. I am fluent in English and French, have training in background investigations (IPTM, Florida), and possess knowledge of VHF communications and computer systems.
