I arrived at Denver 911 on June 1, 1994, with no previous emergency communications experience. I was hired as a 911 Operator and did that for 12 years, until recently becoming a Lead Operator in February. I have a B.S. degree in Behavioral Science & Health from the University of Utah. Before working for Denver, I was a Social Security Disability Claims Examiner for the State of Utah. I had numerous jobs thru college such as, Laboratory Worker, Claims processor, Math Tutor, Math Problem Writer for an elementary school, and a Credit Associate at a Department store.
