Course content is necessary covering personal behaviors by students who must understand the actions of today will affect their futures of tomorrow. Ethical and moral concerns have led to deficiencies in personal responsibilities decreasing the number of students considered for employment within the criminal justice system. Student Participation • Courses must have hands on skill building exercises to complement the curriculum. Each semester students assist in setting up crime scenes and other student participation assignments. This covers murder scenes with dead body or body parts including arms, legs, blood, DNA, hair, fake weapons used, clothing, fingerprints, and other documentation to be collected by the students. Throughout the course students learn how to collect such evidence until the time comes for actually event to occur. Students analyze DNA, hair, fingerprints, how to photograph scenes, bag and tag all evidence, and so much more.

Teaching Effectiveness & Philosophy The following evidence supports my personal and professional branding of characteristics, capabilities, and effectiveness as a tenure-track assistant professor. I have always had a commitment in serving the community. Starting out as a firefighter, dispatcher, cadet leader, police officer, deputy sheriff, public school teacher and university professor, I have always had a passion for education, research, and helping others.

• May 2009, I perused a Ph.D. in Public Policy & Administration with specializations in psychology of terrorism, law, mediation, and peace. • January 2008, after completing a Secondary Education Master’s Degree with a specialty in gifted & talented, curriculum development, and a Texas teacher certificate, I began teaching political science and advanced placement in History at San Angelo ISD • August 2010, my career in higher education started as an adjunct professor of Political Science at Howard Community College. • August 2011, my journey at ASU began as an adjunct professor in Political Science as well as I would assist the Department of Security Studies & Criminal Justice as needed. • March 2014, hired as a full-time instructor for the Department of Security Studies & Criminal Justice. • September 2015, I was promoted to Assistant Professor (Non-Tenured Track) after completing the Ph.D. • January 2016, again I was endorsement to a tenure-track Assistant Professor. Motivation throughout this journey has come from hard work, following my morals, values, honesty, and most of all continuing to help others. After 10 years of teaching my passion continues to flourish. I’m fully committed to assisting students with the necessary and current knowledge and usable skills in order for them to become productive career employees that agencies deem a prerequisite.

Department of Security Studies & Criminal Justice Overview I stay committed to assisting in any way that I can in the department. In the first two years with the Department of Security Studies and Criminal Justice I taught my courses and advised my students while teaching tenured faculty courses as overloads as well as advised their students. For FIVE semesters starting in the fall of 2014, then spring 2015, fall 2015, fall 2016, spring 2017, plus Dr. Hicks had me teach his summer courses throughout same time period. I taught and advised the overloads for the tenured professors as the tenured faculty or the chair of our department needed me to assist. I continued the overload teaching and advising until Dean Gascoigne advised to stop to focus on research.

Fall 2016 the G.S. 1181 Crime Scene Mysteries course I developed and implemented the course with 50 incoming freshmen. I continued to teach the G.S. course each fall semester since the freshman students have so much excitement as well as demand for the course.

Spring 2017 the CRIJ 4381 Special Topic “Technology and Forensics in Criminal Justice” course was implemented to meet the requests of criminal justice agencies needing students to have forensics and technology knowledge and skills in order to be hirable. The curriculum for this course was developed for students to gain usable knowledge as well as hands on skills exercising scientific method composed of technology and forensics to get a deeper understanding of the investigative processes inside the criminal justice system.

Summer 2017 the CRIJ 4381 Special Topics “Serial Killers” course will be taught to give students within criminal justice program depth into a specific type of criminal behavior. This course carries on the theme of criminal investigative skills and

5 knowledge to meet the agencies of the criminal justice system. There are three main areas of concentration in investigating serial killers in this course. 1. Psychology of those who commit serial murders, 2. Difficulty in investigating serial killers "connecting the dots'. 3. Selecting their victims, how does the serial killer choose who to kill".

My education and experience cover a wide range of areas including but not restricted to Security Studies & Criminal Justice that I have taught. I also have areas such as political science, law, public policy, terrorism, mediation, and peace.
