Summary

I have developed into a highly diligent, committed, and resourceful individual as a result of my thirteen years as a prison officer, over 15 years of physical activity and fitness, and four years as a library worker. The situations and scenarios I have encountered throughout the years have demonstrated that I perform at a high level to meet and surpass task expectations when under duress. I seek out solutions and don't dwell on problems; I nurture and build relationships to achieve desired outcomes; and I am a firm believer in the integrity of one's name.

I enjoy weight training, running, dining, and traveling. Hobbies are my method of attaining a harmonious work-life balance.
