Coming from Baltimore Maryland I know communities that are no stranger to violent crimes. Officers are under enormous stress to combat crime, officials are tasked with balancing service and enforcement, and left in the middle is the community. I have learned there are two sides to every story and then there is the truth. Becoming a member of the Citizen Review Board would allow our community to draw from my experiences and talents to get to that truth while providing a perspective on behalf of the citizens of Atlanta. I look forward to working with other members of the CRB and becoming a valuable asset to our community.
