My Journey Across the Rubicon: How Serving Others During Times of Crisis Helped Me Find My Purpose

MVCC Emergency Coordinator Kendall Bruton had a great life, but she always felt something was missing. She found her missing purpose as she went "boots on the ground" in the aftermath of some of our nation’s worst natural disasters. Kendall will discuss her work with Team Rubicon and the ethic of service to others following times of crisis.

Kendall Bruton is the Safety and Emergency Coordinator with the Moraine Valley Police Department. She has a Master's Certificate in Emergency and Disaster Management and is currently pursuing a Master’s in Homeland Security from American Military University. When she is not working, Kendall enjoys spending time outdoors with her daughter.

During Operation Double Trouble following the flood in Wimberly, Texas, I was a Division Supervisor with Team Rubicon, and Kendall was the most amazing & competent Strike-Team Leader I had working for me. She epitomized what it means to be a TR member, and I am very proud to call her sister.
