Five years into my career with CHP I became a trainer for new dispatchers. Then added Trainer for Trainers to my list of accomplishments conducting classes for trainers as well as all dispatchers on a quarterly basis. Developed a manual for trainers to assist all trainers being on the "same page" with information the new dispatchers received. Throughout my dispatch career, customer service jobs, and hospitality jobs I consistently received high marks for my professionalism, courtesy, and efficiency to the job requirements, co-workers, and the public.
Over my years of job experience I also was called upon in many jobs to coordinate company parties and travel plan for executives. I have been on every high school reunion committee since 1987 coordinating venues, vendors, fund-raising, creating classmate list and kept current on addresses over the years, collected entry monies and securely deposited funds in a timely manner as well as all things relative to a successful reunion parties. I have been a trainer in the hotel industry as well as law enforcement which included creating training materials for different classes (in both industries) as well as a training manual for law enforcement dispatch trainers.
