Former crime prevention specialist helping people recognize risk and stay aware in everyday life. Author of A.W.A.R.E.
Awareness doesn’t have an age limit.
From young people learning to navigate more independence to adults who have been doing life for decades, we can all benefit from learning how to recognize our surroundings, trust our instincts, and make safer choices.
Personal safety isn’t about living afraid. It’s about giving ourselves and the people we love the knowledge and tools to be better prepared.

Learn it. Share it. Live A.W.A.R.E.

The more we notice, the more choices we give ourselves.
Personal safety doesn’t have to come from a place of fear or paranoia. It can come from education, preparation, and simply being present enough to recognize when something changes.
My goal is to help you build habits that make awareness part of everyday life so you can live confidently, not fearfully.
Notice more. Know your options. Stay A.W.A.R.E.

Safety starts with awareness.
Not fear. Not paranoia. Simply learning to notice more, trust yourself, and make informed choices.
Stay present. Stay prepared. Stay A.W.A.R.E.
Trust that feeling. It may be telling you something important.
If something doesn’t feel right, don’t ignore it just because you can’t immediately explain why. Pay attention, create distance, and if you have an opportunity to safely leave, take it. You don’t need to wait for a situation to become dangerous before choosing to get out. Awareness gives you information. Your instincts can give you a warning. And recognizing your opportunity to escape gives you options.
Trust your gut. Know your exits. Stay A.W.A.R.E.

I’ve caught myself doing it, too: reaching for my phone while walking through a parking lot.
Now, I make a conscious effort to wait until I’ve reached a place where I can stop and check it.
Teaching awareness means practicing it in my own life. And as parents, the habits we model give our young people something concrete to learn from.
What’s one everyday moment when you could give your surroundings more attention?

When I teach personal safety, my goal is to help people feel prepared.
We can notice our surroundings, consider our options, and enjoy our lives. Those things belong together. That’s the spirit behind my AWARE model and Leaving the Nest: helping you build awareness you can bring into everyday situations.
Save this as a reminder before your next safety conversation with your young person.
Fear isn’t the goal. Education is.
I want to help shift the way we think about personal safety. Being aware doesn’t mean living afraid, paranoid, or constantly expecting something bad to happen. It means learning what to notice, understanding your options, and being better prepared to make confident decisions.
That’s why I wrote A.W.A.R.E.
My hope is that this book gives you practical tools you can use every day and share with the people you love. Be informed. Be prepared. Stay A.W.A.R.E.

Happy Labor Day!
I hope today gives you a chance to slow down, spend time with the people you love, and create memories worth holding onto.
Whether you’re traveling, gathering with family and friends, or simply enjoying a well-earned day off, have fun, look out for one another, and remember to stay A.W.A.R.E.
Enjoy the day and make some great memories!

Awareness starts with noticing what others might miss.
A change in behavior. A shift in your surroundings. Something that simply feels different.
The more you train yourself to notice more and recognize change, the more prepared you are to make safer decisions.
Stay present. Trust what you notice. Stay safer.
Home security is about creating layers of protection.
Cameras, alarms, better lighting, strong locks, and other security tools can all play a role. But don’t overlook the resources already around you. Get to know your neighbors. Look into Neighborhood Watch. Ask your local police department about community safety programs and resources available in your area.
The goal isn’t to live in fear. It’s to build awareness, connection, and a plan before you need one. More awareness. More options. A safer home.
