In 2010, Misty moved to Florida and began working for Sunstar Paramedics. Since then, she has obtained a bachelor’s degree in emergency management and has served her community as a Paramedic, Communications Center Supervisor, and most recently as the Communication Training Coordinator for Sunstar.

Misty was chosen for her accomplishments within the communications center. Since she was selected for the position, Misty has developed an innovative training program for the dispatchers that has raised the bar with its level of quality and professionalism. She has also led the center through several ACE re-accreditation cycles and was the chosen leader through many EOC hurricane activations.

Outside of work, Misty, her husband, and their three-year-old son enjoy cooking, barbecuing, and spending quality time with friends and family. They plan to soon drive to visit family across the country.
