What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a law-enforcement or public-safety role emphasizing emergency preparedness, investigative responsibilities, leadership growth, training opportunities, and a collaborative, mission-driven culture.

I’m a data-driven, people-focused law enforcement leader with more than 7 years of experience in emergency preparedness and crisis management.

I serve as a commissioned police officer protecting students, staff, visitors, and property, performing patrols, traffic control, evidence collection, and testifying in hearings and court.

My background includes investigative work as a criminal investigator, conducting crime prevention programs, mediating conflicts, and performing threat analysis and facilities protection. I routinely wear many hats and bring strong attention to detail and weapons expertise.

I’m adept at administrative procedures, customer service, report writing and delivering presentations; I work to influence policy and improve safety through leadership, clear communication, and results-driven problem solving.
