I was born in Hayward and have spent my entire life in California. My family has played a big role in shaping my core values - integrity, respect, accountability, transparency, and openness.

I’ve always ingrained those values into my work in the Sheriff’s Office. I am a proud Latina with Mexican roots -- my father, Mario, immigrated to California from Mexico as a child and my mother, Sylvia, moved to California from Texas at an early age. Family has always been important to me and I have two older brothers with whom I have always been close. My husband Todd and I have been married for 14 years and we have made our home in Livermore. I am the proud stepmother of three daughters. 

 Our family ended up losing our home while I was in high school, and I chose to focus on working to help my family as I completed my high school education and had to forgo college -- it was not an option for me. By the time I was 18, I was working three jobs to help my family get by. A year later in 1997, I applied to and was hired on into the entry-level role of Sheriff’s Technician within the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office, a good paying job with benefits that was secure. This is how I started my career in public service and law enforcement.

• Sheriff’s Technician (1997-2001). Assigned to North County Jail (now the Glenn E. Dyer Detention Facility), in Oakland where I tracked and logged the day to day activities of the jail. 
• Deputy Sheriff (2001-2009). Served as a sworn peace officer, at the jail, on patrol and as an investigator. 
• Sergeant (2009-2013). First line supervisor at the jail, on patrol and investigations. 
• Lieutenant (2013-2015). Served at the Glenn E. Dyer Detention Facility (GEDDF).
• Captain (2015-2020). Served at GEDDF and later within Support Services, managing the Planning and Research, Technology Systems, CALEA, Multimedia and Central Identification Units.
• Division Commander (2020-present). My current role in which I oversee and manage the Santa Rita Jail facility in Dublin.
