Fairleigh Quinn

Detail-oriented and results-driven investigator with experience in federal and private sector investigations. Skilled in background checks, evidence analysis, and conducting interviews. Seeking an investigator position to utilize strong problem-solving, research, and communication skills to contribute to investigative success.

I have a diverse background in investigations, security, and residential property management, with a strong emphasis on effective oral and written communication. As an Investigator with the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency, I conduct federal background investigations, ensuring compliance with regulations and preparing detailed, clear reports. I also supported national security investigations as a Field Investigator with Paragon Investigations, where clear communication was essential in gathering and presenting information. My experience as a Special Investigation Unit Investigator and a TSA Officer at San Diego Airport further honed my ability to collaborate with law enforcement and stakeholders while maintaining precise documentation. In addition, I manage residential properties, where strong communication skills are key in managing tenant relations, addressing concerns, and ensuring smooth operations. My experience across various sectors has strengthened my ability to communicate effectively, both verbally and in writing, in fast-paced and high-pressure environments.

I have a strong educational background that supports my career in investigations and public service. I earned a Master of Public Administration from San Diego State University, where I developed a solid understanding of public policy and governance. I also hold a Certificate in Homeland Security from Des Moines Area Community College, which provided me with essential knowledge of security and risk management. My Bachelor’s in Criminal Justice, also from San Diego State, further solidified my passion for law enforcement and investigative work, and I graduated Cum Laude. My academic journey has not only equipped me with specialized knowledge but also sharpened my critical thinking and analytical skills, which are essential in both my professional and personal endeavors.
