Born and raised in Lakeland, Florida, my passion has always been people. While in high school, I worked part time 30-35 hours per week, learning how to balance school, work, sports, church, family, and social life. At a young age, I learned to became responsible financially, figuring out how to budget and plan for college and living on my own. Throughout my childhood I grew a passion for criminal justice and decided to enroll at the University of West Florida in their Criminal Justice/Criminology program, minoring in Substance Abuse. During my senior year, I had the opportunity to intern at Escambia County Sheriff's Office with the Crime Scene Unit. To say that my passion for crime scene grew would be an understatement. Everything about the world of forensics and law enforcement intrigued me. After graduating with my bachelor's and getting married, I have found myself itching to get back into the field. I have such a drive to learn as much as I can in any position and from the people around me, I know I will make a great candidate for any position.
