 Background:

 I currently teach Law Enforcement I and Law Enforcement II/Practicum classes here at the ATC.  I graduated from The University of North Texas with a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Criminal Justice and then put myself through the police academy.  I was then hired on as a Police Officer with Highland Village Police Department in Highland Village, Texas in 2002.  There I was on patrol for 5 years and then was assigned to CID (Criminal Investigation Division) and was a Detective for 4 years.  I have my Advanced Peace Officer Certification, along with many other law enforcement certifications.  I have received multiple Certificates of Merit and I received Officer of the Year for 2011.  I have been married for 8 years.  My husband is a Police Officer for Denton PD, we have a 5 year old daughter, and we live just outside of Denton. This is my fifth year teaching criminal justice classes and I truly enjoy sharing my knowledge with each student.
