Keeping You Safe Online
and Offline
For the last 15 years, I have had the ‘cool’ job in law enforcement. My
career started in forensic science developing DNA profiles and then
crossed over into crime analysis identifying crime trends and suspects.
Public service has been a huge part of my life and I dedicated countless
hours assisting police officers in keeping our city safe.
My life in law enforcement enabled me to live comfortably and afforded me a decent
work/life balance. But something was missing. I was working for someone else’s dream
and not my own. I tried to stuff that feeling down and carry on, telling myself I should
be happy with the job I had. That was the worst decision I ever made. About a year
later, I realized the excitement and passion I always had for my work had faded and my
family could tell I was miserable. I left that career to start over from scratch. That was best
decision I ever made.
Taking the leap and resigning from the ‘cool’ job has strengthened my core values and
commitment to serving my community. Kindness, authenticity, integrity and compassion
have always been my path to serving others, but now I also serve myself with the same
values. Listening to my instincts, leaning into the unknown and following my passion
enabled me to step away from a job and build a life that I love.
Analyzing crime trends for the last decade and observing how crime has evolved has
provided me the insight required to keep families safe. The vulnerabilities that now exist
online did not exist 15 years ago. Parents are faced with a new struggle that they were never
faced with growing up – protecting their children in a virtual world which ultimately spills
over into the real world.
Keeping up with your kids online can feel scary and overwhelming. The convenience of
digital technology eases the demands of parenting but can also lead to the feeling of being
left in the dark when it comes to our kids’ online activities. When provided with the right
tools and guidance, parents and children can make smart decisions online which result in a
happier, empowered, more successful life offline.
