I joined the Gila River Police Department as Police Counselor in September 2024. I have 10 years of experience in the counseling field as a Licensed Independent Addiction Counselor (LIAC) and a certification in Trauma and Addiction. I am a hard-working and driven individual who isn't afraid to face a challenge. Additionally, I am very passionate about my work, which I find rewarding. On a personal level, in my spare time, I love spending time with and cooking for my family. I enjoy dancing, gardening, hiking, sewing, reading, meeting up with friends for lunch/dinner and mini weekend trips.
