Summary

A wheeled diesel mechanic in the U.S. Army since 2020, I have developed a deep passion for mechanical principles and a keen interest in diesel technology. Under exceptional leadership, I have acquired a thorough understanding of basic engine systems and maintenance procedures, as well as practical skills in troubleshooting and repair. I am excited to apply my knowledge and problem-solving abilities in any professional setting. Currently, I play a crucial role in law enforcement and security as part of the National Guard's mission Operation Lone Star. With a strong background in safety maintenance and law enforcement, I have successfully collaborated with Border Patrol Agents and DPS to address illegal trespassing and protect others from harm. Thriving under pressure, I possess strong skills in surveillance, conflict resolution, and emergency response. My military career has instilled in me a disciplined and resilient personality that enables me to excel in challenging situations.
