I have always been innately creative and imaginative, however, after the events of 9/11, I put my talents on hold and enlisted in the Army for eight years. After being Honorably Discharged from service, I earned a B.S. in Criminal Justice Administration and a minor study as an Intelligence Analyst.

After I finished my education with military service behind me, I started a career in the Criminal Justice field as a Corrections Officer. Despite the difficult conditions, I never gave up on my passion for imagination and creativity. I found favor with my coworkers and implemented ways to bolster their morale. The gingerbread replica of the facility seen in this photo is one example.

In pursuit of my creative passions, I embarked on a new opportunity with a brick-and-mortar retailer seeking to expand its web-based presence. I became familiar with every facet of the business. I was awarded the opportunity to apply my analytical skills, stalwart values, and creativity in the role of an E-Commerce Specialist.
