Summary

I am a certified law enforcement officer in Arizona with three years of experience in the field, with a particular interest and proficiency in DUI investigations. Throughout my career, I have responded to thousands of calls for service, including many emergency situations, demonstrating strong problem-solving skills, sound judgment, and a thorough understanding of the law, which have resulted in hundreds of arrests.


I have been recognized for my dedication and performance through multiple awards, including Employee of the Month (September 2024), a Life-Saving Award (May 2023), the Heart of Gold Award (2024), and an award for leading the department in total reports, DUI arrests, and overall arrests for the fiscal year 2023–2024.


I am eager to continue my law enforcement career at a larger agency in Arizona, seeking opportunities for professional growth and the chance to specialize in areas such as traffic control and DUI enforcement.

Sales Associate

Total Scope
04.2021 - 10.2021

At Total Scope, I worked remotely and focused on prospecting hospitals to identify potential needs for endoscope repair services. I relied heavily on the Sandler sales methodology, which helped me uncover customer “pain points” and position our solutions effectively. This approach allowed me to build trust, gain confidence with clients, and address their specific challenges.


In addition to cold calling and prospecting, I managed a large client base across the Midwest, serving as their primary point of contact for customer service and account management. This role required consistent communication, responsiveness, and relationship-building, all while working independently in a fully remote environment.

Design Consultant

Baystate Outdoor Personia
06.2019 - 05.2021

At Baystate Outdoor Personia, I was responsible for designing and selling custom outdoor structures, including pool houses, gazebos, pavilions, pergolas, sheds, and more. Because we cater to a high-end clientele, our customers expect exceptional service and attention to detail, which pushed me to continually raise my own standards.

I gained valuable experience in prospecting ranging from cold calling to creative marketing approaches and learned how to connect with potential clients in new ways. Many of the projects I sold were high-value builds, often exceeding $50,000 and sometimes reaching $100,000 or more. This was my first time working with sales at that level, and I found it both exciting and rewarding.


Working in construction also came with its own challenges, such as manufacturing delays or design changes due to engineering requirements. Communicating these issues clearly and maintaining client trust over projects that often lasted a year or longer was a critical part of my role.


This position pushed me outside my comfort zone and helped me grow in ways I didn’t anticipate whether it was cold calling, closing high-dollar sales, or managing long-term client relationships. I’m grateful for the opportunities and support I received from my colleagues, which allowed me to succeed and develop both professionally and personally.

This position gave me valuable experience in both sales and service, while teaching me the importance of delivering consistent, high-quality customer care.

Sales Associate

Sears
05.2015 - 04.2018

At Sears, my primary responsibility was selling appliances while providing excellent customer service. I regularly assisted customers in identifying the right products for their needs and worked to resolve any issues or concerns they had during the sales process.


In addition to sales, I was responsible for maintaining the sales floor by stocking merchandise, setting up displays, and handling physical tasks such as lifting and arranging signage or large items. This role gave me experience balancing direct customer interaction with operational duties in a fast-paced retail environment.

Sales Associate

In this position, I supported the sales lead team by assisting with door-to-door outreach and customer engagement for the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) solar program. My role involved presenting the program to homeowners, building interest, and connecting potential customers with our sales leads. This experience improved my ability to communicate clearly, adapt quickly in conversations, and generate qualified opportunities for the team.
