Summary

I am an experienced professional with a strong background in military strategy, operational commanding, and correctional rehabilitation programs. My previous and current role demonstrates proficiency in key control, inmate classification systems, and conflict resolution during prisoner at risk situations.

I'm skilled in counselling individuals with complex learning needs and building resilience through psychological warfare understanding. I am adept at executing field exercises, reconnaissance operations, and utilising battlefield technology. My previous time in the Army and current role as prison officer, has taught me to build rapport quickly for positive, productive working relationships adapting well to high demands under a constant changing environment.

I'm a respected Prison Officer with exceptional communication and teamwork abilities offering experience in wing management. I am resilient, patient and proactive for responsive staff and offender support. During my extensive career in the Army and currently HMP Berwyn, I have facilitated and supported several changes to necessitate development. I am flexible and adaptable, remain calm under pressure to maintain safe and secure environments.
