I have taught in the Administration of Justice Department at Grossmont College for the past 32 years. I have taught, Introduction to Administration of Justice, Criminal Evidence, and Criminal Investigations. I retired from the San Diego Police Department after 22 years of service and spent 9 years with the University of California Police Department prior to that. I’ve worked a number of assignments in law enforcement including Patrol, Training Division, Police Administration, Critical Incident Management Unit, and in several investigations units as a Detective.

I obtained a J.D. from Howard Law after graduating from the University of San Francisco with a B.A. in mass media communications. Thereafter, I obtained an LL.M. in Trial Advocacy specializing in federal criminal defense from California Western School of Law. I proudly served San Diego County as a public defender for 13 years. I now serve as the founding Executive Director for Community Advocates for Just and Moral Governance (MoGo), an impact litigation organization that focuses on racial and social justice.
