"Being an officer means everything to me. I wanted to be an officer since middle school. One day, one of the students' parents came to our class dressed up in his police attire with all his cool gadgets on him. At that moment, I knew I wanted to do what he was doing. Since then, I’ve worked my way to that point. I’ve done commercial security (unarmed), loss prevention, armed security, executive protection, security contractor for the government, corrections, police, and recently the military as military police. I also graduated from Miami Dade College with my Bachelor's in Criminology & Criminal Justice."

“My mission as a police officer is to spark positive change in others by being a living example of growth, resilience, and purpose. I believe that by showing what’s possible, I can empower others to rise above challenges and become the best version of themselves.”
