What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead staff, support inmate rehabilitation, ensure policy compliance, and foster a collaborative, goal-oriented workplace.

I am an experienced corrections supervisor with a BA in Business Administration and a long career at the Cook County Department of Corrections focused on inmate services, staff oversight, and administrative support.

Since April 2017 I have supervised Individuals In Custody Services, overseeing daily operations, managing staff, ensuring policy compliance, and maintaining cooperative relationships with colleagues and the public.

I bring strengths in leadership, communication, problem-solving, and a commitment to creating a positive, productive work environment that supports rehabilitation goals and staff development.
