Summary
I've been in the security industry for nearly five years and have worked in every position possible. From a Patrol Officer to a Site Supervisor, I'm experienced in the security field and am confident in my abilities to get the job done quickly and efficiently, while providing satisfactory results to clients. I have recently taken a different turn with my career and focused on children's ministries. In this position I have become a well adapted administrator capable of pacing myself and being a self starter. I complete my deadlines without supervision. I have gathered experience in different aspects of graphic design as well, in regards to children's bulletins, social media campaigns, flyers, and newsletters. My security experience has helped me excel in this role as I am able to easily create protocols and points of contact similar to what I had been accustomed to in my previous role. I am an exceptionally quick learner and do not require frequent checks to ensure my work is complete. I am also not afraid to ask questions of those around me who may know more about something than I do, wisdom and experience are valuable resources. The deadline is the deadline and I will provide above satisfactory results in the timeframe given to the best of my abilities. I am knowledge driven and will learn more and climb higher in whatever career I choose if given the chance.
