Summary
I was a jail deputy for 3 years before being promoted to Corporal, then to Sergeant. I learn quickly and make sure my tasks get done. I’ve been an effective supervisor for 12 out of my 15 years at the Jail and have supervised many staff under stressful situations. I feel like I would be a great asset to your company.
