Proven ability to manage hazardous materials and lead teams under pressure. Enhanced operational readiness through strategic training and incident reporting, achieving a 30% improvement in response efficiency. Certified in Hazmat Technician, Haz A, and Haz O.
I have learned through my time in Law enforcement how to understand that not every person handles a situation the same way allowing me to work with people from very different walks of life to come to a conclusion during a disagreement. While managing this I was able to still maintain professional standing and enforce the law as intended.
