What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead security operations in a mission-driven organization—building compliant evidence processes, workplace violence prevention, and high-impact training, while coordinating with local and federal partners to keep facilities safe and resilient.

I’m a VA Police Officer and security professional focused on protecting high-risk environments through data-driven operations and rigorous compliance. I’ve served in roles spanning evidence management, instructor-led training, and coordinated law enforcement partnerships to keep operations steady and effective.

At Mann-Grandstaff VA Medical Center, I assumed full acting authority as Security Department Head during leadership vacancies, maintaining uninterrupted operations across a multi-building federal healthcare campus. By analyzing security operations data and improving processes, I reduced incident response times by 15%.

I led workplace violence prevention programs and behavioral threat assessment protocols in coordination with clinical leadership. I also served as Evidence Program Manager, documenting and standardizing chain-of-custody procedures to achieve full regulatory compliance.

I’m a certified instructor who designed and delivered law enforcement training curricula—boosting officer knowledge retention by 35% and engagement by 40%. Earlier, as U.S. Air Force Security Forces Journeyman and Staff Sergeant, I executed force protection and law enforcement duties, including deployment to Operation Iraqi Freedom (Jun 2009–Mar 2010).
