Summary
I am currently attending South Puget Sound Community College for a Cybersecurity Degree. As a Correctional Deputy, the job required having the ability of making safe rapid judgment calls and exercising critical thinking during crisis events. I developed strong rapport with colleagues and even the inmates. The job entailed to make decisions regarding detention center safety, security, and emergency management protocols. Prior to that, I served five years as a Military Police and Dog Handler and have assisted in law enforcement arrests, traffic details, and maintaining security in volatile circumstances.
