Summary
I have been employed with the Department of Corrections for over 22 years. I did not have the experience or knowledge in my position as a Correction's Officer when I began this journey. But as I continued in this career, I have learned fast and grown into the mature Sergeant with high knowledge and the skills required to complete my job duties in a professional and timely manner. I have strong work ethics and enjoy completing tasks. I believe in working well with coworkers.
