What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven operations professional with over 5 years of progressive experience in law enforcement, technical services, and facilities management. My career has been marked by a commitment to performance, efficiency, and integrity, which has allowed me to excel in high-responsibility roles. I have a proven track record of leading teams, ensuring safety compliance, and overseeing operations in dynamic environments.
Currently, I serve as a Correctional Officer Sergeant at the Fannin County Sheriff's Office, where I lead daily operations within the correctional facility, ensuring adherence to safety protocols and state regulations. My previous roles, including Service Technician and Compactor Truck Team Lead, have equipped me with a diverse skill set in technical services and logistics, allowing me to effectively manage incident reporting, conduct training, and optimize operational efficiency.
As I continue to grow in my career, I remain dedicated to fostering a secure and orderly environment while delivering exceptional service. My educational background in Emergency Management further enhances my ability to respond to challenges and lead teams effectively.
