Summary
I bring more than 10 years of experience in security, investigations, loss prevention, and protective services. My background includes conducting threat assessments, handling workplace violence concerns, interviewing involved parties, investigating incidents, monitoring access, and working with surveillance systems. That work has taken me through residential properties, corporate environments, and sensitive government offices, each requiring a different level of awareness, discretion, and response. My roles have also involved training personnel, documenting incidents, resolving client concerns, and working directly with management, HR, legal, and law enforcement on more serious matters.
