  • Sep 2012 - Present

  I serve as the AATTAP Region 4 Liaison, supporting the AMBER Alert Coordinators, Missing Person Clearinghouse Managers, and Child Abduction Response Teams for my region. We know with networking and sharing best practices, we can be the direct result of finding missing and abducted children. I am honored to work with AMBER Alert Coordinators as we continue to improve AMBER Alert Plans and safely reunite abducted children with their families. I served 12 years with Pima County Sheriff's Department. I was assigned to Arizona Southern Children's Advocacy Center, Crimes Against Children Unit where I managed programs for runaways and investigated child exploitation cases, including luring of minors through technology. While working at the advocacy center I worked closely with forensic interviewers, doctors, therapists, victim advocates as well as Department of Child Safety for local and tribal communities, Federal Bureau of Investigations, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. I had the privilege to work with Arizona Peace Officer Standard and Training Board on training programs for first responders, identifying and investigating cases involving Human Trafficking. The experience has been a useful resource with my position as an AMBER Alert Liaison. I continue to work closely with teens in foster care who need continuation of mentoring and support before aging out of the system. I have found my work with children have been the most rewarding experience. I am currently assigned to Morris Air National Guard's, Chaplin's Unit working as an assistant to the chaplains. I have assisted with management of Human Trafficking outreach at the base.
