What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my crisis response, security, and peer support experience in a role where I can help people stay safe, build trust, connect individuals to resources, and work collaboratively in high-stress environments.

I'm currently protecting staff and visitors at Novant Health, responding to emergency calls and security incidents in high-acuity behavioral environments using nonviolent crisis intervention. I've also led maritime emergency response and ship security planning for Mano Security Maritime/MSC Cargo and Freight.

My background spans military police service in the United States Air Force, force protection in Iraq, armed security supervision, and technical support roles with Vectrus V2X and General Dynamics Information Technology. As a Certified Peer Support Specialist with Mecklenburg County Sheriff Department, I mentored incarcerated clients, led support groups, supported reentry planning, and connected people with housing, food, employment, and community resources.
