Biography

Hello and welcome to my column. I am an Emergency Medical Dispatcher with American Ambulance Services, Inc. in Norwich, Connecticut.  American (or AASI as I might refer to it) is a commercial ambulance service serving the needs of Norwich and the surrounding areas for both ambulance and wheelchair van service. In additon to routine transfers for dialysis, doctor's visits, hospital discharges, and the like we also handle all of the 911 and other emergency transports in the Norwich area and provide paramedic intercepts for many towns nearby. AASI is also the contracted ambulance service for the world's largest casion - Foxwoods Resort and Casino in nearby Mashantucket, Connecticut. Needless to say, we keep busy!

I have been a nationally certified Advanced Emergency Medical Dispatcher with the National Academies of Emergency Dispatch for almost four years and also hold State of Connecticut Telecommunicator Certification. I have been with AASI since June of 2003, prior to that I was a 911 Emergency Dispatcher for the City of Norwich Police Department. I began my dispatching career as a Telecommunicator with the City of Stockton Police Department in Stockton, California way back in 1984 and though I took a break to do a few other things in between, dispatching seems to be my forte and probably what I will do for the rest of my life.

When I'm not behind the console, I am at home with my teenage daughter and spend a lot of time writing for my other blog entitled Are We There Yet?? The Journeys of a Single, Working Mom.  Feel free to drop by anytime and say 'hi'!
