About Sean Blinn

An experienced educator with over 14 years of university teaching in both undergraduate and graduate criminal justice programs, I am deeply passionate about building strong relationships with students and mentoring them toward professional success. My dedication extends to supporting my colleagues through collaborative efforts, fostering a culture of mutual growth and professional development. My focus is on improving the United States criminal justice system through research, collaboration, and practical approaches aimed at reducing system errors. As a Pennsylvania Army National Guard Officer with over 20 years of military experience, my expertise spans foreign relations, military course instruction, detention facility operations, agricultural customs inspections, linguist management, leadership development, anti-terrorism training, force protection, and military police operations. My service includes notable deployments such as Operation Desert Fox (19•••93 MP CO), Operation Brightstar - 293 MP CO), Kosovo Campaign (20••••••28 MP CO), Operation Iraqi Freedom (20••••••28 MP CO), and Operation Enduring Freedom - Kuwait (20••••13). I am particularly interested in developing leadership programs that emphasize mission focus, effective communication strategies, root cause analysis, virtual team management, group collaboration, emotional intelligence, and diversity training.
