I bring over 18 years of experience in Emergency Telecommunications and a deep commitment to mental health and crisis response. I’m a Certified APCO Instructor since 2009, I assist with Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training for both 911 professionals and law enforcement; combining technical expertise with real-world perspective. I’m also CISM (Critical Incident Stress Management) trained and have served on the West Virginia APCO Board for six years, as well as the WV 988 Coalition Board.

​

Drawing from both personal and professional experience, I approach every training with honesty and authenticity, addressing the often-overlooked intersection of public safety, addiction, and mental health. My work continues to advocate for greater support and understanding for those in crisis—both in the field and beyond.
