Proven program development, leadership, supervisory, and team building skills: as evidenced by leading a team of (6) counselors in group work, team meetings, and chaperoning high risk clients to community projects, and work details. I am a visionary leader and strategic thinker who possess a progressive lens to criminal justice with the understanding and experience of facilitating system-wide service integration models that encompass strong partnerships with community-based organizations and city/county agencies to provide services and support of alternative detention strategies.

I have the ability to motivate staff to reach higher levels of performance; to encourage and actively identify professional development; and to hold staff accountable at all levels. I have passion and sensitivity for the needs of individuals and families of a diverse population with a selfless approach to criminal justice reform and a belief in the rehabilitative responsibility of the justice system and a commitment to increased family participation. Proven track record of collaboration and building trust and consensus as demonstrated by having established and maintained, in a highly political environment, cooperative and effective working relationships with a variety of stakeholders (e.g., residents, nonprofit and private organizations, members of boards and commissions, other government agencies, and staff) Exceptional interpersonal and communications skills (both verbal and written) I am a team builder with a high degree of emotional intelligence; and consummate problem solver with the ability to think analytically, exercise independent judgment, respond to issues quickly, and make sound decisions and recommendations.
