Summary
I am a very dedicated, hard working and patient Code Enforcement Officer adept at enforcing city ordinances, codes and state regulations for housing and property maintenance. I have over nine years of experience working with The City of Hesperia in both the Code Enforcement division and Animal Control division. These positions have allowed me the ability to work very closely with other departments within the City including planning, engineering, building and safety, fish and game, and our local Sheriff's department. I have excellent research and problem solving skills as well as a reputation for a strong work ethic and uncompromising devotion to my team.
