Corrina comes from an extensive law enforcement family. She studied several areas in college, including criminal justice administration, forensic sciences and law. Though she was able to graduate cum laude with a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice from National University, her passion was more telling in her effective abilities to communicate and write. Currently working on another degree (a Master’s in Strategic Communications and Public Relations), she continues to be a staff writer for a university-based online publication called the NU Herald, based out of La Jolla, CA. She currently lives in San Diego with her husband, Mark, who has 16 years of experience as a police officer, and with whom she shares a business that provides police training to local and tribal law enforcement. They share their home with their two sons, Christopher and Masen. Corrina plans to continue to help write educational text books for the law enforcement community. This is her way of supporting, enhancing and making safer a community that deserves to have the latest training tools available.
