ABOUT ME

I grew up wanting to be a police officer. After taking law enforcement classes and becoming a public safety explorer in high school, I was exposed to firefighting and emergency medical services. When I graduated high school, my goal was clear: I was going to become a public safety officer. While going to school to earn my degree in criminal justice, I earned my emergency medical technician license and became a certified firefighter. At some point in my college career, I realized that law enforcement was not quite the career for me. But I still had an interest in criminal justice, so I completed my bachelors degree and became a volunteer sheriff's reserve deputy. 

​

After receiving my bachelor's degree in criminal justice, I immediately enrolled in Western's Public Administration program. I knew that my future was in the public sector, so this program seemed an appropriate fit. I received my Master's in Public Administration and I currently work for the State of Michigan as a CPS Investigator.
