Meet Julius Sosa
Julius has always had a strong passion for serving his community. His ultimate career goal is to become a police officer, and he is well on his way to achieving this goal. In order to build his confidence and
communication skills, Julius decided to pursue a career in the security industry as a security guard. He has now been at it for 14 years, and during this time, he has worked in a variety of different sites, such as commercial buildings, malls, and hospitals.
Becoming a Better Person & Leader
The majority of Julius' experience in security has been in the healthcare industry. He has worked his way up to becoming a team lead and supervisor, managing a team of over ten security guards. This experience has helped him become a better person and improve as a security professional.
“Working in a healthcare environment has helped me become a better person by being more patient, compassionate, empathetic, respectful, and confident. I believe these traits are the foundation of a great security professional. They have also helped me become a better mentor to my team,” said Julius.
Julius’ progression within Paladin is admirable and a shining example of our CARE culture and Promotion-from-within Philosophy!
