Summary

As a highly motivated and academically driven individual with a background in Biochemistry/Psychology, combat experience, service as a security forces Marine, and the unique perspective of a dedicated mother to two toddlers, I bring diverse skills and experiences to the table.
While serving as Marine Infantry Squad Leader, I honed my leadership abilities by successfully guiding squads through combat deployments, peacetime training, humanitarian missions, and emergencies efficiently and effectively. These experiences instilled a strong sense of discipline, adaptability, and accountability while nurturing my creativity to deliver exceptional results, even under pressure, consistently.
As a parent, I have developed invaluable skills that complement my academic and leadership endeavors. Balancing the responsibilities of parenthood alongside my studies has strengthened my multitasking abilities, time management skills, and resilience. I've learned to adapt quickly to unexpected situations, maintain composure under pressure, and prioritize effectively, all while fostering patience, empathy, and the ability to remain focused in high-stress environments.
By combining my academic background, leadership skills, diverse experiences, and parental responsibilities, I am well-prepared for any challenging tasks that come my way. My strong work ethic, practical communication skills, and passion for scientific research will make me a valuable asset to the Lakewood Police Department, given the opportunity. I am dedicated to contributing my diversity and unique blend of experiences and abilities to serve and protect our community with utmost dedication and professionalism.
