Summary

As a Marine Security Guard for two U.S. missions, I developed skills in threat assessment, risk mitigation, and crisis response. Experience in the Marines instilled a strong sense of discipline, leadership, professional development, and the passion to pursue work in the security sector. Complementing my military service, I hold a bachelor's degree in international relations, which has provided me with a deep understanding of global affairs and international security issues.
