Career Objectives
My objective is to become an adjunct professor to give back to East Texas University students and staff, because I was given an opportunity to become a college graduate when I never thought it was possible. I was given the building block of my academic future that allowed me to obtain my masters degree from Ole Miss in Criminal Justice Leadership. I want to interact with students and possibly other police officers who share the same goals, helping them to obtain a degree to enhance their quality of living.
