I appreciate you showing an interest in our work and the TJ community.  The Transformative Justice movement, in the area of Criminal Justice involved emerging adults, has become a passion for me.  My professional life began in Williamson County in 1990 (at age 23) as a Felony Pre-Trial Officer with Williamson County Adult Probation.  I have experienced several of the same struggles and CJ involvement as many of the population we are serving at TJC Wilco.  I am blessed to have ended up on this side of the desk!  That could have very easily not been the case.  My emerging adult experiences have added to my insight and empathy for those navigating this developmental period.  I quickly became a helping professional and have directly worked with criminal justice participants of all ages, races, backgrounds, and offense behaviors.  I have developed and facilitated a range of programs which educate, counsel, provide skills, and opportunities to those involved with the Courts through Texas Community Supervision Alternatives, LLC  and with The Center for Cognitive Education, LLC.  Although, I have found no work more satisfying than my work with Transformative Justice programs for emerging adults.  If done correctly, this is the true sweat spot to have a significant positive impact on individuals, families, and the Community at large.
