Taking pride in my ability to communicate with most persons and willingness to engage with the community, my skills as a police officer at Cuesta College, have ensured not only the safety of the campus, but has also created a trust for my department, typically not seen in educational environments. Having spent half of my life on the Central Coast and calling the Five Cities my home, my goal is to be a contributer to the well-maintained safety and security of where I call "home".
