Summary

Motivational leader and organizational problem-solver with advanced supervisory, team building and customer service skills. Experience stepping into roles and quickly making positive changes to drive company success. Focused on using training, monitoring and morale-building techniques to maximize employee engagement and performance. Most of my post college career has been to protect and serve with in my community. During my 12+ years with the Wilmington Police department I worked as a field training officer, developing new officers while supporting my sergeants, captains and chiefs. I have found that using the correct personal interaction with guests and suspects provides the best outcome in de-escalating situations. I have been recognized by the American Red Cross with a Life Saving Achievement Award for performing CPR with the use on an AED while a security manager at the casino.
