Built personal and professional confidence through Army experience.

As a 74D – Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Specialist, my role involves protecting against CBRN threats through detection, prevention, and decontamination operations. My responsibilities include:

• Identifying hazardous chemical, biological, or radiological materials.
• Operating advanced detection and protective equipment.
• Supporting emergency response efforts during CBRN incidents.
• Conducting decontamination procedures for personnel, equipment, and environments.
• Providing training and guidance on CBRN preparedness and safety.

This experience has strengthened my leadership, problem-solving, and adaptability—skills I carry with me in every area of my life.

Regal was my first job after high school and gave me a strong foundation in customer service and workplace professionalism. As a floor staff member, I rotated between several roles, including:

• Concessions: Sold tickets, snacks, and meals while also upselling promotions and ensuring a positive guest experience.
• Doorman: Greeted guests, assisted with questions, and helped maintain a clean and welcoming environment.
• Usher: Responsible for cleaning and resetting theaters between showings to maintain cleanliness and comfort.

While I appreciated the experience and the opportunity to build my communication and teamwork skills, I ultimately left to complete my military training and to seek out new opportunities that would allow me to grow professionally and expand my work experience beyond the entertainment industry.
