I have 8 years of law enforcement experience as a patrol officer, FTO, instructor, mentor, CDU, OIC and bicycle officer. I have taken on supervisory and leadership roles in previous jobs before law enforcement. I was tasked with training new hires and laterals quickly in my career and trusted to handle and delegate tasks on high priority calls. I was looked to as a leader as a patrol officer both in my previous agency and at my current agency. These qualities and experiences have prepared me to sever as a Port of Seattle Police Sergeant.
