Summary
Dedicated criminal justice and conflict resolution professional with over four years of experience in the criminal justice field, including an adult probation internship and hands-on service as a juvenile detention officer. Skilled in case management, conflict de-escalation, crisis intervention, and maintaining safety and structure in high-stress environments. I also bring three years of experience in education, where I have developed strong leadership, communication, mentorship, and youth advocacy skills while fostering positive student development. I have completed Civil Mediation Training and earned a Civil Mediator Certificate, and I am currently pursuing an Advanced Family Mediation Certification while completing a Master of Arts in Conflict Management and Resolution. My combined experience in criminal justice, education, and mediation has strengthened my ability to resolve disputes, build collaborative relationships, and facilitate constructive solutions. I am seeking opportunities where I can apply my expertise in conflict resolution, mediation, investigations, employee relations, human resources, case management, or other roles that value communication, critical thinking, and restorative problem-solving.
