Summary
Accomplished professional with a strong background in security and telecommunications, having served at Tricorps Security and in the US Army Reserves. Demonstrated expertise in project planning and community relations, achieving a 2% error rate in critical report handling. Proven ability to enhance operational efficiency and safety through effective communication and leadership.
I get along well with people due to my job and volunteer experience in Girl Scouts, Boy scouts and church positions. I taught adult Sunday School and was the Women's group secretary for many years.
I left out many low level jobs such as food service or secretarial jobs. I learned many skills from those as well.
I think from my many years of experience in various job industries and volunteer positions that I am a well rounded employee. I pay attention to detail and always accomplish my tasks as instructed. I have the confidence to work alone and make decisions when complications arise. I get along well with others. I pride myself on being reliable, present and prepared.
I'm very happy being a part of Tricorps and the Balcones team and hope the relationship is a long one.
