Summary

The last 4 years of my working life have developed skills of applying sound judgment during high stress / crisis events. Working hard and diligently applying my skill sets to help maintain structure in a high-pressure environment which led to added responsibilities and opportunities being extended. While grateful for the time I was employed through NC Department of Corrections, I am now looking for a career change that will allow growth in a safer environment. I am punctual, detailed and a quick learner. Different situations have different needs, I can work well in a solo capacity, and also within a team to meet goals, and/or deadlines. I earnestly desire the chance to build a new career based on the current skills and strengths, as well as those I can grow into.
