Summary
While serving in the Marine Corps at a young age I was taught the meaning of sacrifice and selflessness. Since then I have continued to develop and hone these skills and incorporated them into the person I am today. I further utlized these skills and added to them with continued stress and hard work. While serving with the Michigan State Police I continued to embody the two core values I instilled in myself so many years ago. While on scene with people who at times are at their worst, I always remember to be courteous and professional. These core values still hold true for me today. With the skills I have and the hard work and dedication I put into everything I do, I would be a great selection for a temp staff position.
