Justin Lee

As a server in a high-volume restaurant on the Las Vegas strip I have learned how to stay calm under pressure, resolve conflicts peacefully, and communicate clearly with people from all backgrounds. I also developed strong situational awareness and the ability to make quick, responsible decisions. I developed strong communication and conflict resolution skills which helped me manage stressful situations and de-escalate tense customer interactions, skills that are essential in maintaining order and safety as a correctional officer. I also worked closely with a team to ensure fast, accurate service in high-pressure environments. I regularly supported coworkers by anticipating their needs, stepping in during rushes, and communicating effectively to prevent mistakes. These teamwork skills translate directly to law enforcement, where coordination, trust, and communication with partners are essential to safety.
