Criminal Justice

Built for the work, not just the degree.

My background spans both sides of the justice system: supervising and supporting individuals reentering the community after incarceration, and investigating incidents from the enforcement side. That combination — enforcement experience paired with reentry case work — shapes how I read situations and how I treat people.
