In 2016, I Began a Dream With a pen in hand. I started chronicling the compelling emergency dispatch stories that I experienced. nearly a decade later—after two kids, two career changes, several family losses, and a cross-country move—this dream is finally becoming a reality.
Born and raised in Parker, Colorado, my childhood was a tapestry of laughter and love. As I transitioned into adulthood, I explored a kaleidoscope of careers, eventually falling in love with the high-stakes world of emergency telecommunications. My can-do attitude saw me quickly rise through the ranks at a prominent sheriff’s office, eventually becoming a telecommunications supervisor where I strived to make an impact both inside and beyond the office walls.
Leaving the headset behind after eight rewarding years was bittersweet, but it ushered in a period of intense personal and professional growth. I’ve since embraced roles in project management and adult learning, discovering new passions and skills.
Outside of work, my life is full of energy and love, managing a lively household with four humans and two dogs. My favorite moments are those spent splashing in the pool with my girls, participating in church activities, enjoying breakfast dates with my wonderful husband, watching movies, and embracing the great outdoors.
