What’s the most unusual or interesting job you’ve ever had?
For a number of years I worked as an Emergency Medical Dispatcher, taking 911 medical calls from the public and dispatching ambulance crews to assist folks in need of help. The people I worked with were wonderful and dedicated, and given the range of things people call 911 for I was able to have some of the wildest, strangest and most rewarding phone conversations of my life!
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
I once had the opportunity to live in northern Uganda and assist with community recovery there. While there were a number of sad times throughout that experience, I remember one of my colleagues complimenting my ability to find something joyful to laugh about every day. He advised me to hold onto that search for joy, to help both myself and those around me keep an eye out for the good news even on bad days. I can't count how many times that perspective has come in handy in the years since!
