Bio
Just like there are no former Marines, there are no former dispatchers.
I began my public safety communications career in 1998, and in my time under the headset I served as a:
Telecommunicator
CTO
Tactical dispatch team member and team leader
EMD Instructor
Peer support team member
Operations supervisor
Training Coordinator
King County EMD instructor
Interim training and accreditation program manager
Cadre Instructor - Telecommunicator Program - Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission
Washington State ACCESS (NCIC) Instructor & TAC
In 2012 I did the hardest thing I ever had to do, and that was leave the ECC. I joined King County EMS as the EMD QI Program Manager, and at the same time became a member of the Resuscitation Academy faculty. That is where I found my passion and my mission; helping systems eliminate preventable death from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest by advocating for public safety telecommunicators to be trained as first responders.
In 2018 I left government work for the private sector to help develop, and now direct, the AHA's T-CPR program, RQI Telecommunicator CPR. I now have a team of public safety communications professionals (remember, there are no
former
dispatchers) who work with systems across the US every day to deliver a rigorous T-CPR training program to the
first
first responders in a call for cardiac arrest.
Professional association involvements Include:
APCO International
Standards Development Training Sub-Committee
Standards Review Sub-Committee
NENA
Co-Chair, T-CPR Standards Writing Group
American Heart Association
Task Force Member - Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) T-CPR Task Force
NHTSA
CPR LifeLinks Writing Group Member
I've also had the privilege of presenting at several national and international conferences, speaking on the topic of Quality Improvement, T-CPR, and the role of telecommunicators in cardiac arrest survival.
