As the COMPASS Program Director for the City of Huntington, I lead the initiative that addresses compassion fatigue among police and fire personnel, a project born from the 2018 Bloomberg Philanthropies Mayors Challenge. My role involves managing the Wellness Center, coordinating and evaluating programs, and developing specialized staff training. I work closely with city leadership, various departments, and stakeholders to promote the health, humanity, and performance of first responders. With a focus on innovative solutions and sustainable practices, I oversee program execution, staff supervision, and data-driven evaluation to ensure the COMPASS model remains a replicable success for cities worldwide.
