A little of my backstory

As you probably know by now, I’m a former jailer and finishing my bachelor’s degree as of August 2025, I’m autistic and ADHD, and I have a child who is also AuDHD. But where did this all start?

I come from a family of first responders. My dad was a firefighter in Michigan before moving to Texas in the late ’70’s. He continued his public service here as a volunteer firefighter in my hometown and eventually became a peace officer. My dad forged a lifelong bond with the fire captain and his wife, the first female paramedic in the city, who eventually became my step-grandparents. I was surrounded by cops and firefighters all of my life, and I wouldn’t give them up for anything. It definitely wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows but I was born and raised into the culture of first responders. When I say I know first responders, I truly mean it. I’m your daughter, granddaughter, sister, niece, your friend, your wife. I will always have your 6.
