What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my security expertise and contribute to community safety while fostering professional growth.

I am a dedicated safety and security officer with a strong background in law enforcement and project management. After graduating from the Savannah College of Art and Design with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interactive Design and Game Development, I pursued a career in public safety, becoming a Certified Law Enforcement Officer in Arkansas. My recent role at ArcBest Corporation has allowed me to expand my skills in security management, where I have successfully implemented new security measures and trained employees in CPR/AED.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to community safety and education. As a School Resource Officer, I developed mentorship programs and provided security at school events, fostering a safe environment for students. My technical skills include experience with various security systems and software, as well as proficiency in the Adobe Suite and Microsoft Office 365. I am also a certified Remote Drone Pilot, which enhances my capabilities in security operations.
