Summary

I have always been a person that believes hard work is rewarded by success. I have worked to succeed in every field I have ever worked in by applying myself and hard work. I graduated in the top 5% of the correctional academy and the top 2 in firearms. However, I am hoping for an opportunity to excel in the next and final career of my life. I also worked personal security for Giddens Security while working for the Department of Corrections, so I am ambitious and have a very approachable personality which goes well with the public relations side of security and I think I would be a great and positive addition to your team.
