Dear Prince George's County Residents,

 

I am honored to step into the role of Director of the Office of Community Relations, a position that aligns with my deep commitment to elevating our community and ensuring that every resident feels respected, valued, and empowered. At the heart of our agency’s motto—“Connecting People, Connecting Resources” is a vision for equitable services that cater to the unique needs of our diverse community.

 

With over three decades of experience in law enforcement and community relations at the Washington, DC Metropolitan Police Department, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a passion for fostering positive relationships between our residents and the resources they need to thrive.

 

 My academic background, with a Bachelor’s in Police Science and a Master's in Homeland Security from George Washington University, has equipped me with the tools necessary to navigate the complexities of community engagement and public service.

 

Together, we will work to create impactful interactions that strengthen our community bonds and ensure that every individual can reach their fullest potential. I look forward to collaborating with you all as we strive for a brighter, more inclusive Prince George's County.
