With over 25 years of experience as a criminal investigator and a Master of Science in Criminal Justice from George Mason University, I bring a unique, practitioner-based perspective to criminal justice education. My background includes extensive work in federal and local investigative roles, covering everything from white-collar crimes to field investigations. I’ve written countless investigative reports, worked closely with prosecutors, conducted interviews and surveillance, and trained law enforcement professionals—experiences that allow me to provide students with real-world applications of criminal justice concepts. This depth of field knowledge not only enhances academic understanding but also prepares students for the practical demands of careers in policing, investigations, corrections, or legal studies.
As a tutor, I take a student-centered and interactive approach, connecting course material to real-life situations in a way that makes learning more relevant and engaging. I emphasize clarity, critical thinking, and confidence—breaking down complex theories like routine activity theory, due process, or use-of-force case law through scenarios that reflect current justice system practices. Whether guiding a student through an introductory class, helping refine a research paper, or preparing for exams like the POST or police academy entrance tests, I tailor my support to individual goals. My aim is not just to help students pass their classes but to build a foundation for lifelong understanding and professional success in the field of criminal justice.
