How to navigate a difficult interview. Back in 2014 I had to deal with the highly publicized Ebola Virus.Are you ready for the Corona Virus? Remember questions such as. Are you prepared? Are you trained? Can you handle this? These are questions by design. Your answers could have serious consequences. Be prepared. Your job is to control panic while informing the public. Think a few steps ahead before doing your interview. And if you have a case be truthful with your information. Fire PIO’s are go to sources for newsrooms.

Yesterday I was given the privilege to continue to be the public voice for our members. With 2000 members strong it’s a job I take very serious. This will be my 5th year serving as the spokesperson/communications for our #union In addition to managing @sacareaff522 platforms the job calls for maintaining an active relation with local media outlets, communications strategy and working with other agencies. Get involved in your union. Help out as much as possible. Before you post think twice. Post with a purpose. We are under attack and don’t you doubt for a minute they are coming for YOUR job and retirement . If your new don’t take things for granted. Nothing is guaranteed anymore. Thank you to the EBoard for the trust and let’s give them hell. #union #iaff #firefighters

A story I worked on. Firefighting is a dangerous job but for many, there's a real danger that they face after hanging up their helmet and uniform. Cancer, PTSD and injuries could all be on the table for them. https://www.abc10.com//103-9004509a-6d65-4c6d-afdc-a5e5015 please consider sharing.
