Summary

I have worked in the correction field for over 15 years now and have gained a lot of experience over the years from simply taking care of inmates on a day to day level to supervising a shift of deputies and making sure all tasks are met for that day. I have been a booking officer for several years getting to know the ends and outs of the booking area. I am a FTO and train the new deputies to perform at their best and to do well at Kendall County. I believe that all my training and experience at Kendall County makes me an excellent choice to be promoted to sergeant. As a sergeant I believe I can help make our deputies and division even better.
