After spending 30 years in the fire service and successfully conqeuring severe PTSD, depression, suicidal ideation and a suicide attempt, I have the experience, knowledge, and understanding about the topic of 1st responder mental health, suicide and the many factors that impact a mental health journey.
My lived experience, outgoing nature and desire to elevate the knowledge level of everybody about 1st responder mental health allows me to speak publicly about the topic, as well as advocate for improved approaches, strategies, treatments and education.
Please feel free to reach out to me if you are interested in having me as a speaker or panelist to discuss your speaking needs.
