I am a very dedicated individual and an extraordinarily fast learner. I am goal oriented and career driven. I work hard, am punctual, and am self-motivated. I am a young woman looking to grow both personally and professionally. I was the Cadet Sergeant (Class President) of the Brazosport College Law Enforcement Academy and graduated second in my class with a 90% average in May of 2014. I intend on continuing my education in Business Administration. I have learned and implemented grant writing for a municipal agency and intend to hone this skill as well. Overall, I would consider myself to be an enthusiastic, self-motivated employee with a sincere passion for knowledge and bettering myself as well as those around me.

I am very advanced in the use of Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook and Powerpoint. I have used all three programs extensively and continue to utilize them every day. Although I am extremely proficient in the use of these programs, I continue to ‘brush-up’ on new classes and updates regarding the use of Microsoft programs. I am also proficient in two CAD/RMS programs and semi-proficient in a third. I am also partially fluent in Spanish and continue striving towards fluency every day.

Freeport Police Department; Freeport, TX October 2017~Present Crime Victim’s Liaison

After serving the Freeport Police Department for more that five years in the capacity of Administrative Assistant, I learned about the Crime Victim’s Liaison grant funding available to the state of Texas and about what exactly a Crime Victim’s Liaison does. I researched this position, and after much thought, decided to apply for the VOCA grant for the City of Freeport. This grant was funded for one year, and I have recently re-written this grant. I have been successful in this position since its recent introduction by collaborating with other crime victim’s advocates and learning as much as possible. I also strive to assist any innocent victim of violent crime as much as I can within the bounds of Texas law. I created and implemented a different form of ‘blue card’ that provides victim’s with essentially all rights, options, and necessary steps and phone numbers. This project went over well in the Freeport Police Department and has served as a knowledge base for both victims and officers. 2

Freeport Police Department; Freeport, TX March 2012~October 2017 Administrative Assistant to the Chief of Police

After only three months at the Freeport Police Department, I was granted the promotion from dispatcher to the Administrative Assistant to the Police Chief. This job requires a proficiency in Microsoft Office, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. It also requires the ability to multi task and be self-sufficient and self-motivated. As the Administrative Assistant, I am required to schedule and organize appointments for the Chief, as well as the Assistant Chief and the Lieutenant. I also handle all of the purchase orders and much of the budgeting for the Police Department. I am required to place all of the supply orders in a timely fashion. I also conduct payroll for all of the officers here. I am also proficient in the rules and regulations of TCOLE filing and record retention, along with the federal Uniform Crime Reporting program. Freeport Police Department; Freeport, TX January 2012~March 2012 Police and Fire Dispatcher

As a police and fire dispatcher, multi-tasking is a must. I was tasked with communicating with officers over a two-way radio; as many as four at any given time. At the same time, I was required to answer public concerns in person or by phone. I also had to do paperwork when inmates were brought in or released. During the course of all this, I was required to dispatch fire and rescue personnel when appropriate, sometimes including life flight. At many times, these tasks were done simultaneously. After accepting a promotion within the Freeport Police Department, I continued to sit in dispatch when possible as well as provide coverage as needed. I also made a conscious effort to continue taking classes and learning as much as possible.

I was tasked with communicating with officers over a two-way radio. At the same time, I was required to answer public concerns in person or by phone. I also had to do paperwork when inmates were brought in or released. As a patrol officer, my duties include answering calls for service on day or night shift patrol, assisting other agencies when they are in need, and responding emergency calls promptly. Communicating with the public is also essential in this position, as are investigating crimes and enforcing Texas law.

Bo’s Bar-B-Q was my first job. Working here, I learned many of the skills that I hold on to now; skills such as customer service, money handling, punctuality, and schedule making. I did not have any achievements at this particular job, but feel it was an important step in my professional development.
