Stephanie-Ann Hoffert
Letter of Interest
As a seasoned law enforcement officer with experience in criminal justice, public health
administration, forensic psychology, teaching, academic research, social work and mental
health, I am seriously interested in pursuing a position within my fields of interest.
I have 16 years of experience working with children and adults touched by Asperger’s
Syndrome, ADHD, depression, anxiety and speech and learning delays. I am proficient in
utilizing the DSM-IV (IV-R) and have written ISPs and IEPs, and various mental health
treatment plans. Additionally, I possess several years of experience working in the MH/MR
field providing direct care for moderately to profoundly disabled men, women and children
in RTF, school and community settings. I also worked as a caseworker with Sherwood Hall,
Inc., counseling juvenile delinquents with sex offenders, and dual diagnosed individuals
with comorbid disorders.
Furthermore, I possess current CPR/First Aid certification, as well as FBI, PA criminal
and child welfare clearances. Additionally, I possess several years of training and work
experience as a correctional officer with Lancaster County Prison, and am a September
2008 graduate of the Elizabethtown (PA) Correctional Officer Training Academy; and have
completed several internships with local police, adult probation and parole, juvenile justice
and correctional departments.
My communication skills include fluency in Outlook, Banner, PowerPoint, Word, MAC,
Lotus and Excel, to include typing approximately 100 words per minute with relevant
accuracy.
Presently, I am an online honors graduate student with Capella University, and will
graduate in March 2014 with an MS in Public Safety and additional certificates in Public
Health Administration and Forensic Science. I begin my online doctorate degree program
in Forensic Psychology in April 2014. I also earned a BS in Criminal Justice Administration
from Central Pennsylvania College (CPC), and am currently an alumni tutor of criminal
justice and general studies courses with CPC. I further earned an AS in Social Science from
Harrisburg Area Community College (HACC). Finally, in June 2006 and 2007, I
voluntarily assisted several criminal justice professors with teaching high school seniors all
aspects of crime scene investigation techniques, criminal law, homeland security, homeland
security and police science, while they attended CPCs Crime Scene Investigation Camp.
In summation, I possess excellent written and verbal communication skills, as well as
impeccable references to provide. Please note that all breaks in employment were situations
where I was required to remain at home periodically to tend to and home school both of my
disabled children. Thank you kindly for your time. I am looking forward to hearing from
your agency in the foreseeable future.
