ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Recently at the Annual Arizona Town Hall meeting conference I was formally recognized for consistent hard work teaching a CLD prep class taken from a basic prep class to a comprehensive course, offering at no cost to my students, CDL permits, and job placement. Furthermore I was recognized for co-implementing a plan of action focusing solely on revoked driver’s license reinstatement, ultimately for the first time, making it possible for inmate clients to get revoked licenses reinstated before release in hopes of reducing recidivism.
