Summary
Starting my first job as a stocker at the Sam Rose Market at 17 years old and working towards my high school diploma. I bought my first car at 17 and graduated high school at 18 during the Covid-19 pandemic. I obtained my second job at Panda Express as a cook where I maintained both jobs. I have great time management and accepted more responsibility at a young age.
I ended up quitting both jobs and taking time to better myself in physical and mental health before looking for better job opportunity. I became a mechanic for Firestone automotive and earned my ASE (Automotive Service Excellence) certifications for automotive and light truck.
Eager for more growth and career development, I applied with the Pima County Sheriff's Department who offered many different schools, trainings, and promotions. I became corrections Officer, skilled in incident prevention and crisis management. Proven track record in training recruits and enhancing operational efficiencies. Proficient in firearms and committed to maintaining safety and accountability within high-security environments. Recognized for excellent problem-solving abilities and effective communication skills.
I still remain eager for more career growth and promotions hoping to become a Police Officer or continuing my education.
