What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior-level roles where I can apply intelligence analysis, data management, and interagency collaboration to improve security operations, mentor staff, and build efficient reporting solutions.

I am an experienced intelligence and data management professional with over 21 years supporting law enforcement and a Fortune 50 corporation. I specialize in developing databases, streamlining data collection and reporting, and producing intelligence products that inform operational decision-making.

My background includes roles as an Intelligence Research Specialist (ATF), Senior Crime Intelligence Analyst (Bank of America), and long tenure as a Crime Analyst with the Broward Sheriff’s Office, where I led large-data analysis efforts, built multiple Access database solutions, and collaborated with local, state and federal partners.

I am committed to mentorship, training, and interagency collaboration, with a record of improving reporting accuracy and operational efficiency, delivering briefing products, and supporting major investigations and task forces.
