In 2015, she became the Commander of the Child Protective Investigations Section, providing administration and overall management to sworn and civilian personnel within the division.

She oversaw the Honor Guard Unit, which performs ceremonial duties, including honoring veterans and dignitaries, as well as paying respect to the fallen. She created and facilitated the first BSO Honor Guard Academy, from which five deputies graduated. Regarding Crime Stoppers, she ensured the anonymity of tipsters, serving as the liaison between the Crime Stoppers Board of Directors and law enforcement agencies in Broward County, as well as other local and federal municipalities. 

In 2019, the Homeless Outreach Team, Crisis Intervention Team, Posse Unit, and Parking Enforcement Unit were added to her responsibilities. In 2021, the Baker Act Team was also assigned to her.
