I like to use my love of technology to find unique ways to solve problems. I am curious by nature and enjoy exploring and learning every day.I am the second shift communications manager responsible for two supervisors and ten communication technicians. I conduct quarterly QAs, semiannual evaluations, for each member of my team.I coordinate continuing education for the entire 911 center of thirty-six employees which includes tracking continuing education hours, creating content for in-service and on-duty training every month, teaching training at in-service, coordinating certification renewals (notary/CPR/EMD/CTO), scheduling vendors for hosted training at our agency and coordinating external training and travel for the entire center.I am the project manager responsible for coordinating emergency dispatch services for special events for all eight agencies we serve. These special events include The Memorial Golf Tournament, Dublin Irish Festival and Fourth of July celebrations just to name a few. Successful management of these events include scheduling staff, creating instructional documentation, verifying radio interoperability, coordinating additional equipment and creating after-action reports. Each event must be properly managed to coincide with the day-to-day emergency operations, which require organization, considerable time, attention to detail and creative problem resolution.I coordinate monthly management and supervisory meetings to include creating the agenda, facilitating the meeting, tracking completion of tasks and composing meeting minutes.I create and update content on our intranet page as well as create and update all Microsoft Forms, corresponding Power Automate flows and Planner tasks.
