Summary
Adept at crisis management and de-escalation, I leveraged these skills at Smith County Sheriff's Office to enhance safety and team cohesion. Fluent in Castillian Spanish and English, my leadership significantly improved facility security and staff training, embodying adaptability and effective communication without compromising professionalism. Able to under pressure, on highly level of stress, and improvise solutions in the middle of a crisis on the go. Great at communication and connecting to others, making it easier to make a team that will thrive on daily tasks and performance. Open to constructive criticism and changes, always leaving room for educating/improving my skills.
