Bio*Note: I am not here on behalf of my agency, nor do I speak for them or serve as a public information representative. All thoughts expressed are my own and do not represent those of my employer* DOT Safety Coordinator with a background in fire, EMS, facility safety/security, and traffic incident management. My biggest passions nowadays are my work in safety, my continuing education towards a safety degree and professional board certification, and furthering my prior training in the fields of critical incident stress management, crucial conversations, and faith based ministering to the sick and institutionalized.
