Summary

Accomplished Probation Officer with a proven track record at Westchester County Department of Probation, adept in offender supervision and employing effective verbal communication to foster rehabilitation. Expert in risk assessments and fluent in Spanish, I significantly enhanced program outcomes by innovating rehabilitative strategies, demonstrating a strong commitment to community safety and successful reintegration.

Began my Probation career assigned to the Yonkers Family Court Unit, were I conducted PDI's, and managed a caseload of over thirty children and teens placed on Probation as either JD's or PINS cases. I was assigned to supervise high risk juvenile deliquent cases, Juvenile sex offenders and juvenile fire starters. I also co-facilated weekly youth group meetings at the Yonkers Probation Office. I worked at the Yonkers Family Court Unit on two different occasions.

I am also highly experienced in supervising adult probationers as I have been previously assigned to the Yonkers Field Supervision Unit, Mount Vernon Field Supervision and the Mental Health Unit. I am presently assigned to the White Plains Field Supervision Unit. I was previously assigned to the PSI Unit as well. These assignments have provided me with a vast amount of experience, which has made me a more prepared and seasoned Probation Officer.
