I'm a detail-oriented team player with strong organizational skills. I have the ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously with a high degree of accuracy. I began working immediately after college with the NM Department of Corrections as a Correctional Officer in July 2014. During this time, I managed dangerous and unruly criminals while focusing on maintaining safety and promoting rehabilitation. I was committed to maintaining order and enforcing rules and regulations in prison settings. In February 2016, I began working for the Department of Homeland Security: US Customs and Border Protection as a Customs and Border Protection Officer. I started my career at the San Ysidro, CA Port of Entry where I worked from February 2016 to April 2020. I then moved in April 2020 to the Douglas, AZ Port of Entry, where I am currently still working. I’m a Level III Instructor that teaches classes for Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII) equipment. I implement our agency's mission statement to safeguard America's borders. I protect the public from dangerous people and materials.
