Welcome to the Fade to Black Podcast, where we approach life’s challenges and experiences through the lens of Emergency Management’s 5 Steps – a framework that guides my outlook on navigating everyday problems. Drawing from my 23-year career as an Emergency Medical Technician and service in the U.S. Army, I bring a unique blend of resilience, empathy, and technical expertise to my photography. This journey has shaped my passion for connecting with people and exploring diverse perspectives. Armed with a Bachelor’s degree in Technical Management with a minor in Digital Photography and a Master’s in Emergency Management & Homeland Security, I’ve dedicated my life to helping others in moments of vulnerability and strength. Now, through the Fade to Black Podcast, join me on a journey guided by the principles of Emergency Management: Prevention, Mitigation, Preparedness, Response and Recovery.
