Summary
Throughout 2023, I have had the pleasure and privilege of working for the 4th circuit of the Florida State Attorney's Office, maintaining multiple grants with the Bureau of Justice Administration (BJA) and the Research Triangle Institute also known as RTI International. As Site Coordinator for the Sexual Assault Kit Initiative I held a multifaceted role working with and managing three grants which totaled $3,000,000. The office saw prosecutions on dozens of cases many of which involved serial sexual offenders. This position has afforded vast experience in law and business. As well as igniting a firm desire to to pursue justice in the most vulnerable communities.
