Correctional Officer at CDOC (2019-06 – 2025-06)

Several skills that I have learned as a Correctional Officer. I have acquired the skill to effectively & respectfully communicate with a diverse population. Whether that be my co-workers, the population I oversee, stockholders, outside agencies, and the public.

Taking annual classwork on professionalism. Working together to achieve goals and assignments. I am a natural problem-solver. Excel at uncovering mistakes that are often overlooked and fixing them. I've become very skilled at noticing behavioral patterns.

Gained excellent proficiency in motivational interviewing & active listening. Gained a great deal of knowledge of our legal system. The time that I have spent working as a Correctional Officer has given me impeccable attention to detail.

Whether that detail is in a project or in a person's body language making it a powerful skill in every aspect of life. In this position I developed superior time management skills. I fine-tuned my skills of reading policies, understanding, comprehending & explaining them.

The greatest skill I have acquired is patience & empathy.

Senior Claims Specialist at 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty (HBW) (2017-06 – 2019-06)

What did I do every day as a senior claims' specialist? I built relationships with homeowners. I fulfilled warranty claims. Alleviated homeowner stress. Provided detailed updates to homeowners regarding claim status making outgoing calls.

Accepted escalated calls from the call center, reviewing the claim, and troubleshooting any issues I discover. Often developing staff skills in the call center to help them troubleshoot providing customers with superior service. This position taught me what it really means to be self-motivated to manage my own day to day within my area.

I learned everything about a house & difference of a home warranty versus home insurance. I began cultivating an empathic nature that I was later able to apply as a Correctional Officer. I further developed my skills of reading policies, understanding, comprehending & explaining them.

Account Lead at TruAssets, LLC (2014-07 – 2016-02)

As an Account Lead, I acquired the knowledge and experience to make me successful at 2-10 HBW. I learned the terminology & the regional market cost (of that time) to create bids to build a house from the foundation to the ridge caps. I learned how to inspire service providers and education verbally without being able to show them.

I learned that the best way to inspire them is to build a trusting relationship. Additionally, how to effectively communicate with the banks & mortgage companies. This was my first taste of reading policies, understanding, comprehending & explaining them to my peers and service providers.

Problem solving and making decisions in the interest of the banks & mortgage companies as well as for my service providers.
