Life

I have worked in Corrections for the past 6 years. Although I thoroughly enjoy my profession, I feel like I am not living up to my full Potential. I have worked with the ICE agent who comes into the jail and from our conversations, I feel that not only is it my calling, but I feel I can live up to my full potential as well as make a difference. I am extremely hard working, premium attention to detail, goal oriented and integrity is my best quality. The research I have done and talking to the ICE agent, I feel like I would be a phenomenal asset to ICE.
