Growing up fascinated by criminal law, I knew that one day I wanted to work within the field. Attending the University of Colorado at Boulder I focused my studies in sociology with an emphasis on criminology classes. While attending, I enrolled in a class called Law, Punishment, and Society, where I was lucky enough to have a professor who would soon change my life forever. The professor was just teaching this one class because he was the Chief of Probation for Boulder County. He offered his students the opportunity for an internship at the probation department and helps adults on probation and parole study for their GED. I jumped on the opportunity and soon enough I was interning three times a week at two different probation departments in Colorado tutoring individuals in math, science, writing and English to prepare for the GED exam.
After the semester and internship was up, I wanted to keep going. I was intrigued by the people around me, their work ethic, their drive to make this world a better place, and help the ones who needed it most. From the probation department, I moved to the Boulder County District Attorney's office where I worked twice a week alongside the District Attorneys for traffic and misdemeanor court filing and have individuals fill out the proper paperwork. While doing that, I was offered an opportunity to intern in the Boulder County District Attorney's Office of Investigations and I could not be more excited.
While working in the investigation department, I felt like I was in a movie. I was working under some of the most incredible and dedicated humans I have ever met. The way the investigated cases, thought of the impossible and dedicated their lives to finding answers and uncovering the truth really left me in awe. I wanted to be just like them.
After graduating with my undergrad degree, I decided to move back to Chicago, where I am from, and see the other side of the law. In Chicago, I worked at a prestigious criminal defense law firm that picked up nationwide criminal felonies. My boss loved going to trial, he loved fighting for his clients, studying the law inside and out and going to court and proving the innocence of his clients. This attorney was always on the top of his game, and always intrigued me how brilliant he was in the courtroom.
I was happy to be able to see both sides of the law. In Colorado I was focused on the prosecution, the state, fighting for the innocence of the victims. In Chicago, I was able to focus on the innocence or lack of, of the defendants. It was really important for me to understand both sides and work within both to really understand the system.
After Chicago, I felt the need to come back to Colorado. The sunny days and beautiful mountains were calling me back and I felt like it was a good opportunity. Immediately after moving back to Colorado, I enrolled in the Private Investigators Academy of The Rockies. This was a weekly 4-hour course taught by a prestigious investigator in Colorado who has been in the field for over 40 years. The Investigator by the name of Rick Johnson teaches this course to prospective private investigators interested in the ins and out of the industry and gives you a course base of how to open your own private investigation firm. While attending this course, we were able to meet other successful private investigators, hear their stories and understand why they do what they do. I was hooked.
After completing the course, I wanted to learn even more. I enrolled in the University of Denver’s Sturm College of Law for my masters degree in Legal Studies. While enrolled I focused on courses in criminal law, mediation, the death penalty, juvenile law and more. While enrolled I interned at the Denver County Juvenile Court where I wrote a thesis on the process of transferring a juvenile into the adult court system.
At this point, I knew from day one I wanted to do something in the law. Being a detective in the police department intrigued me but I could never bring myself to work as an officer on the field for a minimum of 3 years to be qualified for a detective position. I thought a private investigator would be a perfect avenue for me.
When it comes to missing persons, infidelity, social media investigation, background and pre-employment investigations, custody and more, I can use my knowledge and experience to best help clients get the answers they need. I love helping people, I love being nosy and knowing the ins and outs of situations and most of all I love helping people who are in need. I hate hearing people hurt, hearing people worry about their spouses or children. I want people to know I am here for them. Being a private investigator lets me help the public. Lets me help worrying parents where their children are, lets me help children know where their elders are, lets me find out if a lifelong marriage is being ruined by cheating, lets me, help individuals, during custody battles know if their children are safe and let me do so much more where I feel rewarded for helping society in any way I can.
I am happy all my experiences have led me here and I can't wait to see what the future holds!
