Accomplishments

While I was employed by the State of Missouri as a Probation and Parole Officer I was honored to be selected the Employee of the Quarter for our region. I was also awarded two professional development awards which enabled me to attend professional development conferences of my choosing. This was very much an honor as it was awarded to only a small number of people. I have served as a job coach to new staff and had an excellent working relationship with all of my colleagues, law enforcement and the offenders whom I supervised.

As a substitute for CPS, I have been reliable, willing to serve in any role necessary and maintained a positive attitude.

Certification

I have my substitute teaching certificate issued by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
