Transitional Intelligence is an emerging multidisciplinary intelligence framework focused on understanding how people, institutions, communities, and operational environments change during periods of uncertainty, crisis, adaptation, and recovery. Rather than examining one discipline in isolation, Transitional Intelligence integrates behavioral, operational, digital, geospatial, crisis, and community intelligence to identify vulnerabilities, strengthen resilience, and improve decision-making before, during, and after significant transitions.
Transitional intelligence Command, or TIC (pronounced as tick), applies this framework across healthcare, public safety, emergency management, community resilience, digital safety, mortality systems, and extreme operational environments.

Founder & Director
Transitional Intelligence Command (TIC)
The founder and director of Transitional Intelligence Command (TIC) developed the Transitional Intelligence framework to address a challenge encountered repeatedly throughout a multidisciplinary career: the most significant crises rarely remain confined to a single discipline. Through work in public safety, behavioral analysis, cybersecurity, maternal health, crisis intervention, and community systems, it became evident that today's most complex challenges consistently cross institutional, operational, technological, behavioral, and human boundaries. Transitional Intelligence emerged from the belief that understanding these transitions requires an integrated approach rather than isolated expertise.
The director's professional background combines more than a decade of operational experience with graduate education in behavioral analysis and cybersecurity. She served for 13 years in law enforcement, including five years as a Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Coordinator, and is a Certified CIT Instructor. Throughout her career, she has worked extensively in crisis response, behavioral health, de-escalation, institutional collaboration, operational planning, and community partnership development. These experiences established the operational foundation that continues to shape the development of Transitional Intelligence.
Academically, she holds a Bachelor of Arts in English and Creative Writing from Southern New Hampshire University, a Master of Science in Criminal Justice with a concentration in Behavioral Analysis, and a Master of Science in Information Technology with a concentration in Cybersecurity from the University of Cincinnati. Together, these disciplines have informed an approach that integrates behavioral science, operational decision-making, cybersecurity, communication, intelligence analysis, and systems thinking.
Beyond public safety, her work extends across maternal health, mortality systems, and community resilience. She is a certified full-spectrum doula, certified death doula, certified childbirth educator, digital security trainer, intelligence analyst, and university researcher working at the intersection of public health, crisis response, and operational systems. These experiences have reinforced the importance of understanding how institutions, professionals, and communities function during periods of transition, uncertainty, and change.
She is also an active member of multiple cybersecurity and artificial intelligence communities while continuing to expand her expertise in areas including drone operations, geospatial intelligence, operational assessment methodologies, and emerging intelligence practices.
Transitional Intelligence represents the integration of these diverse experiences into a single multidisciplinary framework. Rather than approaching crises through one profession alone, the framework focuses on understanding how people, institutions, communities, and operational environments change under conditions of uncertainty; identifying vulnerabilities before they become failures; and strengthening resilience before, during, and after significant transitions.
As Director of Transitional Intelligence Command, her work focuses on advancing Transitional Intelligence as both an operational practice and an emerging multidisciplinary discipline through field operations, intelligence products, community capability building, applied research, education, and collaborative partnerships that strengthen preparedness across diverse operational environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Transitional Intelligence?
Transitional Intelligence is a multidisciplinary intelligence framework focused on understanding how individuals, institutions, communities, and operational environments change during periods of uncertainty, crisis, adaptation, and recovery. Rather than examining problems through a single discipline, Transitional Intelligence integrates behavioral, operational, digital, geospatial, community, and crisis intelligence to strengthen resilience and improve decision-making before, during, and after significant transitions.
Who created Transitional Intelligence?
The Transitional Intelligence framework was developed by the Founder and Director of Transitional Intelligence Command (TIC). It emerged from years of work across public safety, behavioral analysis, cybersecurity, crisis intervention, public health, mortality systems, research, and community education. The framework continues to evolve through operational practice, research, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
What is Transitional Intelligence Command (TIC)?
Transitional Intelligence Command (TIC) is the organization responsible for applying and advancing the Transitional Intelligence framework through field operations, intelligence products, community capability building, education, and collaborative partnerships. TIC creates trainings, intelligence products, and operational models that are based on the needs of the region served and evolve in relation to the needs of the community and environment.
How is Transitional Intelligence different from traditional intelligence work?
Most intelligence disciplines focus on understanding a specific domain, such as criminal activity, cybersecurity, military operations, public health, or emergency management. Transitional Intelligence focuses on how systems change under conditions of uncertainty. Rather than examining a single discipline in isolation, it integrates multiple intelligence perspectives to understand how institutions, communities, infrastructure, technology, and human behavior interact during periods of transition.
Is TIC a law enforcement agency?
No. TIC is designed to be multidisciplinary and applicable in its expansion across healthcare, emergency management, public health, education, community organizations, cybersecurity, critical infrastructure, and other complex operational environments.
What organizations does TIC work with?
TIC collaborates with organizations that are responsible for navigating complex operational environments, including healthcare systems, EMS, law enforcement, emergency management, coroners' offices, libraries, universities, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and community partners.
Is Transitional Intelligence an academic discipline?
Transitional Intelligence is an emerging multidisciplinary framework. TIC is committed to advancing its development through operational application, research, education, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Why does TIC focus on multiple disciplines?
Many modern challenges cross organizational and disciplinary boundaries because crises do not respect traditional scopes. Healthcare, cybersecurity, behavioral health, emergency management, public safety, and community resilience increasingly intersect during periods of crisis. Transitional Intelligence was developed to better understand these intersections and strengthen coordinated decision-making.
What does "Command" mean in Transitional Intelligence Command?
The word "Command" reflects TIC's commitment to disciplined operational planning, coordinated fieldwork, intelligence integration, and structured decision-making. It does not indicate that TIC is a government agency or military organization.
Does TIC investigate crimes?
TIC's primary mission is systems-level intelligence, operational assessment, preparedness, and resilience. When appropriate and authorized, TIC may collaborate with partner organizations by providing specialized intelligence, behavioral analysis, operational assessments, geospatial analysis, or other technical expertise. TIC is not a traditional law enforcement agency; its primary focus is instead on strengthening existing systems, reducing vulnerabilities, and improving preparedness across diverse operational environments.
Does TIC have social media?
TIC's primary communication channels are its website, intelligence products, presentations, and direct collaboration with partner organizations. This approach reflects the organization's emphasis on thoughtful, evidence-informed work and meaningful professional engagement rather than continuous online activity
Where is TIC headed?
The long-term vision for TIC is to continue developing Transitional Intelligence as an operational discipline while expanding collaborative partnerships, intelligence products, educational initiatives, and regional operational capabilities that strengthen resilience across diverse environments.
