Court Compliance Officer Auditor, I was selected by state and federal courts to investigate and audit government agency compliance to settlement agreements. I won recognition with these courts because of my prior experience as a law enforcement officer working to settle civil rights violation cases. I was instrumental in writing government grants to fund studies to be used as reference base lines in specific elements of settlement contracts. I proposed and wrote the first "Court Monitor" methodology to replace the previously used "Court Master" system. This innovation is now a standard of civil rights settlement agreements nationally.
