Summary
I recently retired after 31 years with the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections. While the majority of my career I worked with adult men, I also spent 12 years working with female offenders as well. It may surprise some you that I am applying for jobs outside of my wheelhouse, I am ready to learn new things, and bring a wealth of experience working with people.
