Summary

I am a hardworking job seeker who is extremely detail oriented. I take pride in the job I do and do it to my best ability every day. I am able to work in the extreme heat and cold. I can also work hard labor or manage projects on a computer. I think my work ethic and my ability to understand situations and talk to people have helped me in any job I have had, While in corrections I gained as much knowledge I could before promoting to the next rank. Once becoming a Lieutenant I promoted again to Captain in under a year due to my work ethic and my ability to have things completed in a timely manner and have it done correctly. I believe I can be an asset to any team i become apart of.
