It is important to learn from the people around you and find support.
As I started moving forward in life, everything pointed toward law enforcement for me. And something that helped me a lot was that my parents were very supportive. They would say, “Whatever you want to do, just aspire to be something, something that’s good and something that’s giving.” My parents were both working people. They weren’t in law enforcement, they weren’t in politics. They were just hardworking people. And they did have an impact on me because I saw how hard they worked. And I aspired to be like them – to have that kind of integrity.
