Summary
Adept at navigating complex security landscapes, I leveraged advanced problem-solving and adaptability to expand Security Alliance Group LLC's portfolio and develop a company-wide COVID-19 screening process and was recognized with the “Propeller award” for exceptional leadership. My tenure at GardaWorld underscores a commitment to strategic thinking and professionalism, managing over 285 officers across 36 sites. Capitalizing on experience as a MTSA inspector with the USCG, I was able to achieve or keep high regulated facilities in compliance with the governing agencies.
