Summary

I have 3 years of retail experience prior to my 10-Year career at the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office. While at the Sheriff's Office, I obtained many certifications such as my Certified Corrections Officer (CCO) and my General Instructor (GI) Certification so that I could teach new recruits. I created classes for new recruits in the Basic Detention Academy. I am great at problem solving, multi-tasking, and I thrive in a fast-paced working environment.
