Highly reliable and detail-oriented Security Guard experience protecting a high-volume Amazon facility. Skilled in operating advanced security systems, managing access control, monitoring employee and visitor activity, and responding to emergencies. Experienced in ensuring safety, enforcing company policies, and collaborating with law enforcement and management to maintain a secure and orderly environment.

• Operated integrated security systems (CCTV, alarm monitoring, access-control software) and performed a 15-point interior/exterior patrol each shift; documented incidents and maintenance needs in detailed reports.
• Managed facility access control: created/issued/deactivated badges, verified IDs for hundreds of associates, delivery drivers, and visitors daily, and enforced site entry policies to prevent unauthorized access and loss.
• Staffed the delivery and flex exit area for approximately six hours per shift, conducting continuous cart ID and proof-of-route checks, working with supervisors to maintain safe and orderly operations, and reducing opportunities for theft.
• Responded to alarms, directed emergency evacuations (fire and severe-weather procedures), led people to designated shelter/gathering locations, and coordinated incident response with local law enforcement during site threats.
• Maintained CPR certification through company training, communicated continuously via radio with team and management, and assisted coworkers with safety and loss-prevention procedures.

I instructed children in foundational and advanced swim skills, providing constructive feedback to students and their guardians on strengths and areas for improvement. When not teaching, I monitored pool activity, enforced safety rules, and maintained constant vigilance to prevent accidents. I am trained in lifeguarding techniques, including CPR and emergency response for conscious and unconscious individuals. I also supported management with on-deck duties, tracked student progress, conducted one-on-one instruction, coordinated guardian communications, and completed other tasks as needed to keep operations running smoothly.

• Taught multiple children’s swim classes weekly, each approximately 30 minutes long, providing individualized instruction and feedback to students and guardians on skill development.
• Maintained continuous vigilance while lifeguarding during 4-hour shifts, ensuring the safety of all swimmers and enforcing pool rules.
• Trained new instructors on swim teaching techniques and pool safety procedures to support team development.
• Responded to emergencies and administered lifeguard first aid, including CPR and rescue procedures.
