Summary

Federal Corrections Officer at Kent Institution with a strong background in security, safety, and enforcement. My experience includes extensive work in retail loss prevention, where I developed sharp investigative skills and a proactive approach to theft deterrence. I also have hands-on experience in the CBSA Immigration Holding Centre, managing the care and custody of detainees in a high-security environment, which has equipped me with strong situational awareness, conflict resolution skills, and an in-depth understanding of detention procedures. Previously, I worked at Amazon as a Workplace Health & Safety Specialist, where I focused on injury prevention, compliance, and creating a culture of safety in a fast-paced environment, on ensuring compliance, reducing risks, and promoting a safety-first culture. My diverse experience across federal, retail, and corporate sectors has equipped me with a well-rounded and disciplined approach to public safety and risk management.
