I’m a DOJ-certified PREA Auditor for Juvenile Facilities, a role I’ve held since 2016. With over 20 years of experience in the juvenile justice field, I currently serve as the Quality Development Supervisor and PREA Coordinator for the Montgomery County Juvenile Probation Department in Texas.

My background includes a Master’s Degree in Criminal Justice Leadership and Management from Sam Houston State University and a strong foundation in both federal PREA standards and state-level juvenile regulations.

PREA audits are a regular part of my work, and I’ve had the opportunity to support juvenile facilities across the country in strengthening their practices and achieving compliance. I'm deeply committed to creating safe, secure environments for youth and helping agencies uphold the core principles of the Prison Rape Elimination Act.
