Corrections Officer @ State of California in San Quentin, CA
"I worked as a Corrections Officer for the last 15 years and experienced high levels of management and multi-tasking in a stressful environment. Prior to this role, I was in the high tech industry for over 20 years in the production, inventory control, and supply chain areas. I would welcome the opportunity to get back into it, as I truly miss the environment."
