Summary

I'm a security-focused professional with experience working in custody and other high-pressure operational environments. I'm used to managing risk, safeguarding vulnerable people, and making sound decisions in fast-moving situations while working within strict procedures and legal frameworks. My degree provided a strong foundation in ethics, crime prevention, and professional judgement, which I apply in practice. I'm now looking to progress into a more challenging frontline role where I can continue developing professionally and contribute to public safety.
