As a Special Agent at the U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General (USPS OIG), I apply my law enforcement and criminal investigation skills to protect the security, integrity, and reputation of the nation\'s mail system and its customers. I have over 13 years of experience as a federal law enforcement officer, working in various roles and capacities within the U.S. Forest Service and the USPIS. I have completed multiple certifications and training programs that enhance my professional qualifications and competencies in this field.My mission is to uphold the law and serve the public interest by preventing, detecting, and prosecuting crimes involving the mail, such as fraud, theft, violence, terrorism, and cybercrime. I also contribute to the safety and well-being of postal employees, customers, facilities, and assets. I work with a team of dedicated and diverse professionals who share a common vision and commitment to protect and serve the American people. I am passionate about my work and motivated by the challenges and opportunities that it offers.
