Today is #NationalLawEnforcementSuicideAwarenessDay

I wrote this dedication for my dissertation in 2021. In the 4 years since, another 500 officers have died by suicide. It is for these individuals - these mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, sisters, brothers, friends - that I do this work. (1/)

Gave my professional introduction, it’s time to get to know ME! I have the best husband who graduated alongside me (ASU & SHSU) in 2021. We have 2 amazing Belgian Shepherds, love the Denver Broncos, & have the most incredible ALMOST ONE YEAR OLD baby girl. 🤯

Nice to meet y’all 🥰🦋

A wildly successful conference wouldn’t be complete without an acknowledgment of my biggest accomplishment. Being able to continue to exclusively pump & bring home OVER A GALLON OF MILK to my daughter. It’s certainly not easy, & I’m so incredibly proud of myself. #MomsInAcademia

I'm new here but what better introduction than this! Currently in San Francisco chatting about setting up a Wellness Repository for Law Enforcement. Led to some great discussion — happy to chat more with anyone interested. 🥳 #ASCSanFran24 #Academic #PolicingResearch
