Summary

Versatile and empathetic communications professional with a unique foundation in emergency response, crisis management, and team coordination. With experience as an EMT, Dispatch and Transport Coordinator, and Suicide Hotline Supervisor, I bring a calm-under-pressure mindset, strong storytelling instincts, and an authentic, human-centered approach to communication.
