Over the last ten years there have been many opportunities to advance myself in the Florida Department of Corrections, those include but are not limited to, working as a work squad officer for the last five years as a special projects manager, supervising those crews involved the operation of tractors and other heavy equipment. Other tasks were completing fencing projects, renovating state buildings, making minor welding repairs to equipment. Secondary responsibilities were preventative maintenance and repairs to equipment and vehicles, ordering parts via approved marketplace vendors, and preparing for state and federal audits.
