Summary

Retired Peace Officer/ Supervising Forensic IV for the state of Nevada - 16 years. I’m looking to apply my considerable skill set to a company that values its employees’ hard work and ability to self-start. I spent a good chunk of my time in a supervisory position with the State, responsible for writing evaluations, carrying out treatment, providing concise documentation to the courts, supervising an extremely volatile client base, and being able to respond quickly to escalating incidents properly and correctly. The skills I bring to a job include accountability, the ability to work unsupervised and independently or as part of a team, perseverance and problem solving in difficult situations, as well as the ability to take pride and responsibility in my work.

Insightful Officer with 15+ years of experience law enforcement environment and commitment to maintaining high levels of safety and organization. Proven leader with great and detail-oriented observation skills. Goal-oriented with calm and focused demeanor in stressful situations.
