I was hired by the Sheriff’s Department in 1996 and while a Deputy, I worked in Patrol, Criminal Investigations and as the Public Information Officer. I promoted to Sergeant in February 2001 and my first assignment was here in Green Valley. I was then reassigned to the Personnel Unit and I worked there until my promotion to Lieutenant in December 2002. As a Commander, I returned to Criminal Investigations for two years, transferred for a year to the Community Services Section which, at the time, encompassed the School Resource Officer Unit, DARE Unit and Public Information Office/SAV Coordinator and most recently I spent over four years as the Lieutenant responsible for the Personnel Unit. So, I really made a circle in terms of my responsibilities. I was transferred to the Green Valley Patrol District in June, and I am very excited to be trying something new and learning all there is about being a District Commander and working in this great community. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice from Northern Arizona University and Master’s Degree in Organizational Management from University of Phoenix.
