Born Dispatcher.
Built for This.
I did not start as a Training Coordinator. I started as a dispatcher — answering calls, managing chaos and learning what it means to be the voice between a citizen in crisis and a first responder who needs accurate information to come home safe. I did that for 21 years. And then I built the system that trains the people who do it next.
