I am very proud of my dedication to the criminal justice system. A lot of it was volunteer work, but the amount of training and time spent on these agencies gave me the ability, training and heart to work with the public in a proactive manner. Having had several Psychiatric Evaluations to work at these agencies, I was told that the thing that stood out most in the testing was how much I cared for others.
I have owned my own business mowing lawns for senior citizens in the Gresham area. Also, during this time i worked some security for a couple of companies in the greater Portland area.
