In 2004, this native Washingtonian, wife, mother and grandmother resigned from her position as a Detective with the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C. (MPDC) and took a great leap of faith to pursue her dreams. As a result, she is an absolute phenomenal mentor, motivational speaker, writer, life-coach and recent contributing author to the prominent book, 100 Words of Wisdom for Women. To know her is to love her and to love her is to know that she is no non-sense when it comes to changing lives.

 

As an advocate against domestic violence, she has conducted extensive research and work on the effects of violence in relationships and its effect on the coping skills of children, adolescents and adults. She brings an understanding to the psychological and spiritual barriers that many women face. "If I can help women and their children deal with their emotions, make sense of what is happening to them in the midst of traumatic situations, I have made a difference," she passionately proclaims.

 

She is one of the founding members of "Breaking the Silence East of the River," a sub-committee of Women Empowered Against Violence (WEAVE). "Breaking the Silence East of the River" is the foundational development committee for the Greater Southeast Domestic Violence Satellite Intake Center, Washington, D.C.

She played a vital role in the implementation and planning of the Metropolitan Police Department's Family Violence Prevention Unit and premiered as the lead detective in their training video.  Although she left MPDC as a sworn member in 2004, she occasionally returns to assist in training on issues relating to victims of domestic violence and her experience as a detective. She empowers them to always embrace their dreams, strive to enhance their skills as law enforcement officers and sharpen their knowledge  as it relates to handling domestic violence cases.
