G4SSecurity Project Manager
Nov. 2015 - Mar. 2020Baton Rouge, LouisianaI propelled a major million dollar/year project for my company where I supervised security activity and managed stakeholder engagement for six different hospital sites headquartered from Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center. My work was IT and physical security solutions in the healthcare industry that involved me tracking and auditing subordinate compliance to contracts, general human resources functions (interviewing, selecting, placing, training new hires, tracking time and attendance, labor scheduling payroll for approximately 50 personnel, conflict resolutions, and liaison between my company, and the hospital Director of Security, and Vice President of Operations.

US ArmyHuman Resources Officer
Feb. 2013 - Nov. 2020Fort Hood, Texas, United StatesHuman Resources Office/Project Manager (S1) in the Adjutant Generals' Corps. I’ve had the distinct pleasure of working with senior military leaders and peers as part of a highly focused executive project team that is responsible for creating the high impact plans using the Military Decision Making Process, that provide subordinate units their operating orders containing highly detailed operating instructions that is simply known to others, as a mission.
I also had the personal pleasure of having my very own personnel team to guide, mold, and instruct on day to day business operations. We were an administration charged with managing the career life cycle and essentiall personnel actions such as, accountability, recruitment, promotion, pay, awards, transitions, postal operations, placement. performance evaluations, and more, for thousands of Soldiers, DA Civilians, and Contractors assigned beneath our commanding unit, from the time they enter our front door, to the time they exit it; be in retirement or reassignment. As an HR leader, one of the more rewarding tasks I was charged with was developing morale plans to ensure working Soldiers keep happy and operate in the best mental state possible for peak safety and effectiveness. This role was data heavy and covered an immense amount of ground and responsibilities stemming from database creation and management of large datasets and systems. In this role, I volunteered to become my unit’s Safety Officer, Radiation Safety Officer, and Equal Opportunity Leader, all as part of additional duties to my primary role.
Pinnacle EntertainmentCasino Dealer
May. 2012 - Jul. 2013Baton Rouge, Louisiana AreaGaming Professional
I greatly enjoyed the upsell, guest services, networking, and charming personality I improved on while working this job bright-lighted and high-rolling job between my degrees. I also received the chance to re-hone some key soft skills, such as listening, speaking, and mastering how to relax under pressure. During my training, I, like my peers, lacked the confidence to believe we could do with ease, something that seemed so hard as multi-tasking by dealing cards at a professional speed and level with the pressure of computing fast and accurate mental math before live audiences while entertaining them with a warm and welcoming personality and lively conversation. However, it didn't take long for the mechanics to fall together very nicely, and I quickly became an extremely proficient dealer in the company. I dealt Blackjack, Pitch Blackjack (single and double deck), Baccarat, and Poker Carnival games such as Hold 'Em. Because of this role, I have a ton of confidence in my ability to quickly learn and master anything I decide to do.I operated independently, but also as part of a large team, contributing in securing approximately $285k in tips per pay period. I made enduring friendships with tons of working professionals: Judges, Harvard Lawyers, MBA's, Pharmacists, Business Owners, and more. I routinely handled in excess of $50k per night in incoming and outgoing money. This job was a great precursor to business school for me.
Yum! BrandsShift Manager
Oct. 2009 - Mar. 2011Baton Rouge, LouisianaLeader, Coach & Trainer (college junior) I had no prior management experience outside of the military, but this company leaped out at getting me aboard immediately in order to help drive results in their most busiest and best performing location on the outskirts of LSU. I didn't approach this job as just a fast food job, but as an objective, and with the mentality of a specialist. I came in highly motivated thanks to my AROTC training, knowing my military management skills would transfer over very well and that I was going to do a top job! I didn't come in to manage the status quo. I came in to drive improvement. I assessed the sales situation during a conversation with my GM on day zero. He said to me "we're just under $40k per week in sales at a +$38k/week average." I said to him, "I take it upon myself to reach that $40k/week mark." I did so by coaching a good team into a great team by making sure they adhered to by-the-book policies and guidelines. I managed individuals aged 16-46 and fostered an environment of very high levels of morale, because even then as just a junior army leader, I learned that attitudes were infectious, that the subordinate attitude and energy mirrors that of the leader. So even when I was tired, whooped, down, and beat up, I maintained a high level of motivation and energy that whipped up my team's spirits to mush on and keep performing at high levels in the most pressured times. I rendered the office of this job with great zeal. In the end, I believe I received one one the best hidden gem management experiences I could have at that point in my life; gaining civilian management experience, setting expectations, delivering on goals, driving consistent results, leading arrays of attitudes and personalities, making decisions, managing uncertainty, and more. It was a great opportunity down in the trenches that helped groom me into a finely cut business management professional. Pay scale: $10.25/hr
Job CorpsResidential Counselor
Sep. 2008 - May. 2009Carville, louisianaCounselor & Supervisor (college sophomore) This was one of my most meaningful jobs because of the impact I was able to have on the lives of second chance young men and women, ranging in age from 15-24 years old. This was a place where my attitude, personality, and image was quite like-able, so I became a student favorite that allowed me to have more influence of that students over older Counselors who had known the students far longer . This strengthened my influence by building the one-to-one relationships I developed with the students that allowed me to influence the group almost effortlessly. This more delicate leadership style was one that seemed natural to me. It was not my policy to bark orders and be mean, but to sit down, ask the questions, and listen in order to understand each unique nuance with every one of students. I learned in the military that a leaders should praise in public, but discipline in private. For these actions, my students saw me as more of a big brother and mentor rather than an employee. Because of that, I was able to achieve excellent results, becoming student-voted best Residential Advisor eight months in a row, and boosting group performances from 94% to a consistent 98%. Pay scale: $12.50/hr
Army National GuardInfantry Officer
Oct. 2003 - Dec. 2012Opelousas, LouisianaInfantry Officer, Explosives Engineer Soldier I held this role while in college and started it by jumping up six full ranks after being a contracted member of the Army Senior Reserves Officer Training Corps, and not exactly knowing what I was doing. But in time, I developed into the confident and charismatic leader I still am today. This position became one of the most physically challenging, but most emotionally rewarding positions I've ever had the privilege to serve in. I learned what it meant to be able to stand before others and look like, be like, and sound like a leader; which to me, at its core, is taking care of the mission first, but taking care of people always. I learned why knowing the job and aligning goals with the boss was so important. I learned why it was important to be the character and the example of what "right" looks like as a leader. I learned to be ethical, moral, and move with integrity. I learned to be competent, capable, and ready when asked, "Sir, what should we do?" or "What do you recommend?" Solely because of this role and its sharpening experience, management and leadership became some of my most shining competencies. Previous to this role, I was a demolitions engineer for about 3 years who rigged explosives like TNT, C4, 40 lbs cratering charges, silhouette charges with detonation cord, bangalores, grenades, and more. I was trained to place friendly and remove enemy land mines using metal detectors, shape markers, and finger sweeping techniques. This was a highly dangerous and technical role I'd held since 18 years of age and did not have any significant health or safety incidents.
