In 2006 I graduate with a BAAS from Midwestern State University and in 2015 I received my Masters of Science in Homeland Security and Emergency Management from Kaplan University. I retired from the Webb County Sheriff's Office after 20 years of service and I am also retired from the Texas Army National Guard after serving 22 years as a Sergeant with the 436th Chemical Company of Laredo, Texas. With my years of service as a Deputy Sheriff and military experience, I hope to inspire my students to pursue a career in Criminal Justice.
