Why dispatch
i want to be the first voice someone hears when they call for help.
Most people never think about dispatchers until they need one. It's a less common job, but it matters on every call: the right questions and clear instructions in the first minute can change how the rest of an emergency goes.
I'm earning my associate degree in communication at Tacoma Community College while finishing high school at Stadium, both through Running Start. Along the way I've blown glass, run lighting for live events, digitized records, led my school, and worked at an amusement park.

American Red Cross · ASLSpotlight · Hilltop Artists
Hilltop Artists' Team Production program is a selective, advanced track for young glass artists in Tacoma. The hot shop taught me that communication and safety go together: you follow the procedure exactly, call out every move, and stay focused on what the team needs next.
Spotlight · Life Center
Since August 2024 I've volunteered on Life Center's production team, running lights for live events and making social and digital content. Cues have to land on time, and there's no second take.
