What I'm looking for

I’m looking to contribute my law enforcement, education, confidentiality, communication, organization, and data-entry experience to a health and wellness role supporting the ongoing mental health crisis.

I’ve worked for the Roanoke City Police Department, Bedford County Sheriff Office, and Bedford County Public Schools, supporting public safety and education in high-pressure environments.

As a Police Officer and School Resource Officer, I managed multiple cases, wrote detailed reports, conducted online research, and protected confidential personal and legal information. My experience with mental health conditions, substance use disorders, civil liabilities, and domestic relations has strengthened my calm, thoughtful approach during difficult situations.

I’m now looking to bring my communication, organization, data entry, and attention to detail to the health and wellness field.

I work independently, manage competing priorities cost-effectively, and build strong relationships with clients, colleagues, and supervisors. I was named Kiwanis Club Officer of the First Quarter in 2018 for outstanding interaction with a combative juvenile.
