Biography
I am currently a Supervisory Pretrial Services Officer in the Southern District of New York. I began my career in the district in 2005 as a technician and have served as a Pretrial Services Officer Assistant, Pretrial Services Officer and Intensive Supervision Specialist. I have served as a STARR coach and am a graduate of the FJC’s Leadership Development Program. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice from the University of Maryland and a Master’s Degree in Criminal Justice from the John Jay College of Criminal Justice.
I became an FPPOA member in 2008 and served as a District Representative before being elected Northeast Region President. Involvement with FPPOA is very important to me because it is an opportunity to be aware of what is going on in our system to help facilitate change. Being a member is also a wonderful opportunity to connect with officers throughout the country. As someone who comes from a district with a separate Pretrial Services Office, the mission of Pretrial Services is very important to me, and I hope to bring that viewpoint to FPPOA.
