Summary

As a problem-solving designer of solutions, I have developed strong skills in investigating complex problems and creating strategic solutions. My experience in designing and deploying global training programs has enhanced my attention to detail, critical thinking, and ability to build cross-functional relationships. I have conducted extensive process evaluations and successfully applied investigative techniques in personal cases, such as solving a home burglary and uncovering evidence leading to a dismissal of charges against my daughter. Driven by a belief in empathetic and determined defense, I am prepared to conduct field investigations, gather evidence, and collaborate with legal professionals. My expertise in problem-solving and stakeholder collaboration positions me to contribute effectively to robust defense strategies.

Work History

Records Training Supervisor

Maricopa County
03.2024 - Current

In my role as Training Supervisor within the Information Governance department of the County Manager's office, I meticulously examine the current processes and systems regarding public records requests, both internally within the organization and externally with citizen requestors. This involves conducting thorough evaluations of existing procedures, identifying inefficiencies, and gathering feedback from staff and the public to understand pain points and areas for improvement. By analyzing data and reviewing case studies, I develop strategic solutions aimed at creating a more efficient and transparent culture.

Our goal is to ensure that our public records request process is not only credible and reliable for the general public but also enhances the overall experience for everyone involved. This includes implementing best practices, leveraging technology to streamline operations, and fostering a culture of accountability and openness. By continuously monitoring and refining our approach, I strive to build a system that upholds the highest standards of transparency and efficiency, thereby reinforcing public trust and satisfaction.
