I’ve been following the Raspy Dispatcher page for a while now on TikTok! I love that there is someone that I can finally relate to and understands what I’m thinking! All of my friends think I’m insane when I speak in 10 codes instead of English haha.

I actually disclosed something that was expunged from my record over 10 years ago just bein... more

I absolutely love getting to listen to people in the field. I am currently in the application/hiring process of joining an agency in dispatching. I love hearing the tips and tricks, the first hand experience, all of it. It has made me so excited to get in that headset and be able to put everything into practice as a shift worker. Ashley has given me so much assistance with going through the application process I am just extremely grateful!
