Summary

I started my career with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department as a Call Taker. I came to the Fontana Police Department as a Police Dispatcher I. During my career here I've held the positions of Dispatcher I, Dispatcher II/Communications Training Officer, Mentor, Member of Peer Support, Tactical Dispatcher, and Dispatch Shift Supervisor. I'm currently the Acting Dispatch Supervisor, a role I was honored to be selected for. I feel that my years of experience, training, knowledge, and the dedication I have to the Dispatch Center and the Police Department make me a competitive candidate for the Communications Supervisor position.
