Rachell Schemmer

Dispatch Director
Department of Public Safety for IU Health
Westfield, Indiana

I have worked in public safety for over 25 years. I started my career as an EMT while learning dispatch, before moving into full-time dispatching.

I have an amazing husband, Jeff, and two adult kids, Hunter and Austin. I love highland cows, traveling, and exploring old buildings. I am a nerdy person who enjoys chasing the Northern Lights and standing out watching severe thunderstorms.
