You are a BETTER wife, mother, friend and military member when you are able to take time out for YOU!

Maj Tammie Ellerbe (r), Air Force Veteran

Have a good balance between work and your family....

 

It's your family that will be there when you decide to hang up the uniform.

Instead of thinking of me as the “diversity hire”.... be open to what great things I can bring to the table.

Brooke A., Beloit Wisconsin FireFighter

I am what would be considered a “late bloomer” in the fire service—why?

Because as a woman, it never occurred to me that this was an option for me......Part of what I want to help with is to empower those who may not have even thought that this was an option—be it military, law enforcement, or fire.
