Summary

With a proven track record of enhancing safety and efficiency, I've significantly contributed to the Security team and the Housing dept by implementing robust security measures and emergency response guidelines. As a member of the Security team since 1997, I believe my leadership and communication skills, coupled with my dedication to staff training and safety standards, have been beneficial to our team. My experience is complemented by a strong commitment to community engagement, staff engagement and adopting technological advancements in security. And following best practices within the industry and adopting what works best for our organization and most importantly our clients. The students, staff and visitors to our organization.
