College Student Attributes

As a graduate student at Arizona State University, I have had the pleasure of being a guest instructor for courses in Corrections 101, Sex Crimes and Violent Offenders.


 I have had the opportunity to guest instruct at Arizona State University for students and staff as well as Vancouver University, Canada and South Mountain Community College, Mesa Arizona. 


This has afforded me the chance to speak on behalf of the job as a law enforcement officer, as well as give a perspective of the job through theory and field experience.
