Work History

CBP Officer Trainee

Department of Homeland Security
05.2024 - 12.2024

During my time as a U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officer Trainee I excelled in academics and practical applications of the job. I have left Fletc with everyone knowing I was not going to be giving up on working for the agency.

My struggle and failure was to reach the pushup standard. Upon leaving I left I had come a long way and I am very close to achieving the goal. I am confident this will not be an issue in the future.

My records of achievements and certifications can be easily accessed and readily available.
