Meet Our School Resource Officer

Supporting students, strengthening relationships and helping keep Cypress schools safe.

School Resource Officers (SROs) play a vital role in fostering safe, supportive and welcoming school environments where students can thrive. Beyond providing a visible security presence, they build positive relationships with students, staff and families, serving as trusted mentors and resources.

By working collaboratively with school administrators, educators and the community, School Resource Officers help prevent issues before they escalate, promote safety through education and outreach, and contribute to a positive school culture that supports learning and student well-being.

The City of Cypress SRO is funded through a partnership with the Anaheim Union High School District and serves students at Lexington Junior High School, Cypress High School and Oxford Academy.

Prior to becoming a sworn peace officer, she served as an intern with a local police agency and handled security for a major entertainment venue.
