Bottom to top, and top to bottom problem solver who has never required rank to be a strong and positive organizational leader. Originator of new and exciting ideas and developer of successful programs for personal and organizational development and growth. Highly involved in community building activities, as well as the creation and maintenance of positive relationships with all area stakeholders. As a Public Information Officer, I maintain a successful interaction with the citizenry and media for accurate and timely release of information. Recognized for local efforts in creating and implementing a successful new and highly workable recruitment plan. As both the Community Relations Officer of the Crestwood Police Department, and Chairperson for The Crestwood Police Officers' Association I have experience in maintaining group charitable activities and fundraising. I am a persistent and constant advocate of our officers well-being, serving multiple terms as the head shop steward and member of our contract negotiation team. I particularly enjoy the time spent with our community's youth as a D.A.R.E. Instructor of over 20 years, having successfully taught through two major curriculum changes, and as a past pilot instructor for research programs to offer curriculum to regional high schools. I am a current member of the Missouri DARE Officers Association Executive Board.I consider myself a servant leader, who makes every effort towards the benefit of others. From my rural farm family background, to my current urban surroundings, I look for the best life I can live. I wish to remind myself to constantly be grateful to God for all the blessing I have received. I want to be able to share all of my "good" with my friends, and that is also what my clients are to me, my friends.
