As the Criminal Justice Program Coordinator, I would like to welcome you to JSCC’s Criminal Justice Website.  Since assuming this position in 1996, my goal has been to develop the best two-year program in the state by enhancing academics and strengthening relationships with law enforcement, corrections, and the courts.  Whether you are interested in a career degree or transferring to a bachelor’s program, your experience in criminal justice at Jefferson State will be worthwhile.

After receiving my Masters Degree in Criminal Justice from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, I worked as a Federal Probation Officer for the Northern District of Alabama for five years.  It was a privilege to serve this court.  And, last time I visited, the court still considers me part of their family which is an honor in and of itself.  Prior to probation, I was employed by the National Institute of Justice & the Police Foundation as Site Director for the highly publicized federal narcotics grant known as “Operation Caine Break”.  For three years I worked closely with the Birmingham Police Department with both the narcotics unit and the community oriented policing initiative.  This is where I met my wonderful husband, Deputy Chief Ray Tubbs, who was an undercover narcotics officer at the time.  Ray is a graduate of Jefferson State and the FBI National Academy.

I am very proud of so many JSCC graduates who have established careers with local, state and federal law enforcement as well as probation, parole, corrections and private investigation and security.  I look forward to helping you achieve your academic and career goals!
