Summary
With 18 years of experience in the pre-hospital care environment, including my time in the military and my current role as a litigation specialist with the Yavapai County Attorney's Office, I believe I possess a strong and adaptable skill set for this position in particular. I have learned a lot from handling critical and high-stress situations in both public safety and the military, as well as my transition to a role where coordinating, organizing, and ensuring important documents get to where they need to be for legal matters, in the service of justice. One common factor in all of these positions has been balancing all of the relationships in my various roles and how critical that has been to every role I have been blessed to earn. I believe all of these life experiences and the skills learned throughout them will serve me well in this position.
