Hello! I am your Region 1 Representative, based in Wichita Falls, Texas. I have worked in education for two decades, first as a chemistry and forensics teacher, before going through the police academy in 2017. For the past seven years, I have worked as a teacher of criminal justice as well as being on patrol for several agencies. I am currently a teacher and school resource officer for City View ISD. I am here to work together to make this year a successful one for Region 1! Please reach out if you have any questions, concerns or ideas. I hope to see you at our competition in the spring!
