About

I have been honored to spend over a decade serving both my country as a Marine and my community as a law enforcement officer. I am continuing my passion for justice and advocacy as a Staff Attorney at the Oklahoma Innocence Project. I have a strong background in leadership, criminal investigation, patrol operations, operational planning, intelligence analysis, tactics, as well as multiple certifications in crisis negotiation, active attack response, SWAT operations, and rappelling. As part of the Oklahoma Innocence Project, I have gained valuable experience focusing on criminal defense work and helping to right the injustice of wrongful convictions. I have developed skills in legal research, writing, and analysis, using Microsoft Office and other tools.
