What I'm looking for

I seek analyst roles applying investigative and forensic skills in collaborative, mission-driven teams with opportunities to support tactical operations, multi-agency coordination, and professional growth.

I am an accomplished Crime & Intelligence Analyst with hands-on experience as a Crime Scene Investigator and Claims Adjuster, delivering actionable intelligence and investigative insights that improve decision-making and operational outcomes. I leverage tools such as ArcGIS, LPR systems, NCIC/FCIC, Accurint, CLEAR, OSINT platforms, and FARO 3D scanning to conduct crime pattern analysis, fraud detection, link analysis, dashboard creation, and real-time situational monitoring.

I hold an M.S. in Criminal Justice – Behavioral Studies and multiple certifications in intelligence writing, crime analysis, and investigative techniques. I have a proven track record briefing command staff, supporting tactical operations, coordinating multi-agency efforts, processing and documenting complex crime scenes, and reducing loss exposure through fraud identification and thorough claims evaluation.
