Welcome, Jessica Dreyer!
 Please welcome Jessica Dreyer, intern with the Tulsa Police Department Child Crisis Unit. Jessica is currently enrolled at the University of Applied Sciences in Wuerzburg and is studying for her Bachelor's degree in business translation. A 20-week long internship abroad is part of these studies, and she has chosen to work with TPD as part of that. She is living with family in Broken Arrow while she is here. Jessica was born in Fort Riley, Kansas, but her parents moved to Germany when she was about four years old. She grew up in a tiny town called Oberwildflecken in the middle of nowhere in Germany. "When it comes to my hobbies, I really have a passion for animals," said Jessica. "I love almost anything that has to do with animals!" In Germany, she has a pet rat and once she completes her studies she would like to adopt a French bulldog. When asked why she is looking forward to working at the Center, she said, "Because even if it is a hard job (emotionally), I know it is the right thing to do because I can help in solving crimes for those who are the most vulnerable and fragile and in most cases can't defend themselves. It just makes me happy to know that I can be a part of something bigger and know what can be achieved with my help."When it comes to working with her co-workers, she wants them to know, "Since I was born, I have had severe hearing problems; so if anybody is trying to talk to me and I don't react, I'm not ignoring you, I probably just don't have my hearing aids in and can't hear you! :o)"
