Summary

I don't have correction experience but I have been in college for a little over 3 years now, working on a bachelors degree in Criminal Justice. When I worked at Burger King and Dicks Sporting Goods I have been promoted at both places in less than 6 months. I am a hard worker, I don't give up easy. Even though I haven't been at Corecivic for very long I feel confident in making decisions that follow policy and I catch on fast. I clarify what I am told to make sure that I understand.
