Summary

Experienced police officer with a strong background in crisis response, de-escalation, and supporting individuals experiencing psychiatric and emotional challenges. I work closely with clinical teams and have learned the value of patience, empathy, and advocacy for people who often feel overlooked. My goal is to move from enforcement into social work, where I can focus more on direct support, reducing stigma, and empowering individuals and communities. I'm pursuing a Master of Social Work to build on my real-world experiences and grow my skills in clinical practice, policy, and advocacy.
