What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values safety and teamwork, offering opportunities for growth and development.

I am a dedicated and disciplined Security and Corrections professional with over 6 years of experience in high-pressure environments, including hospitals and correctional facilities. My expertise lies in de-escalation, crisis response, and enforcing safety protocols, which has allowed me to effectively lead and protect in both team-based and independent roles.

Throughout my career, I have been recognized for my life-saving interventions and have been promoted for my exceptional service. My roles have included Armed Safety and Security Officer at Mount Carmel Health Systems, where I conduct regular patrols and assist medical personnel, and Corrections Deputy at Crawford County Sheriff's Office, where I applied my training in high-stress situations. I take pride in my ability to maintain safety and order in challenging environments.
