Summary
I am a dedicated professional with a solid amount of experience working collaboratively in a fast paced, time sensitive environment. My background in childcare has equipped me with a strong sense of empathy, allowing me to create a safe and supportive atmosphere for those I serve. In many of my careers I have had to communicate both with clients, supervisors, and co workers to effectively get my job done, and I pride myself on always being a strong member of the team. I am eager to learn this new role of serving my community, and apply the skills I have as a 911 dispatcher. I am committed to helping and serving my community and responding effectively in critical situations.
