I came to UCFPD for the opportunity to grow and ultimately become the best version of myself. Thanks to UCF’s tuition waiver program, I was able to complete my bachelor’s and master’s degrees, opening doors I never imagined both within UCFPD and beyond.
After working in the auto industry for several years, I decided to follow my dream of becoming a law enforcement officer. The work-life balance really attracted me to UCFPD, especially since I was able to carry over my customer service and communication skills from the auto industry. As a corporal, I enjoy setting the standard of service and care that the community deserves and I do my best to make every interaction as educational and positive as possible.
