Other Past or Current Departments and Organizations: EMA - CERT instructor when extra people needed during training blitzes
TN-TASK Force One- involved for approx. 17 years; recently bought land we building a horse farm to get into horse therapy for handicapped kids- takes all spare time

My Training:: Haz-mat tech;rapell master;swift water rescue tech;trench rescue tech; confined space rescue tech;rope rescue tech;load master;paramedic; SORT team(special ops rescue team) ;qualified on senior aerial (I was a tillerman before I made lieutenant), snorkel, pumper, platform, rearmount, squrt, and junior aerial. I am the first female to make 25 years on the Memphis Fire Dept.

About Me:: I ride a chopper, have a 650 arctic cat quad, scuba dive, roller blade, and bungie jump. I have several horses and mules I am training to be bomb proof (hyper-calm) in hopes of using them for horse therapy for handicapped kids in a couple of years when I retire. I am lucky to have found a husband that puts up with my craziness.

Why I Joined Fire/EMS: I feel I am making a difference, I am not just marking time like in most jobs. Also, you never know what is going to happen, no two days are alike.

Top Issues Facing Responders:: I work in a bad part of town, we have a heavy gang activity here, no to mention the meth labs. I made a house with heavy fire that after it was over, we found the meth making equipment.
