"I am a West Grand resident, with two children in Grand Rapids Public Schools. I became involved as a volunteer of GRPS and West Grand Neighborhood Organization shortly after my family moved into the neighborhood in 2007. I have been working for WGNO since July 2015 and it has been the most rewarding experience of my lifetime. I love our neighborhood & enjoy working with neighbors!"

"I am a retired Grand Rapids Police Officer as of 8/24/2015. I have ties to the west side of Grand Rapids and was blessed to work as a Detective for approximately nine years. In that time I was assigned to the Combined Auto Theft Team (C.A.T.T.), which consisted of Grand Rapids, Wyoming and Kentwood Detectives. I was born in Lubbock, Texas and am bilingual in Spanish. I am a strong supporter of the greater Grand Rapids hispanic community and businesses. My door is always open to assist the hispanic community with any concerns. I hope to help bridge the gap between the west side community and the Grand Rapids Police Department or any other law enforcement agency. I am looking forward to using my experiences to help inform the community about auto theft prevention."
