Bio: Holly Dye is Project Coordinator for the EKU-SAFE program. She brings with her twenty years of experience working offenders and victims of drug related crime. She has received local, state, and national recognition for her work on behalf of the most vulnerable victims of crime by the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Victim Impact Program at the Federal Medical Center, and Prevent Child Abuse Kentucky. In personal time, she enjoys reading and going on weekend trips with her husband. Holly is committed to using her professional and personal experiences and compassionate approach to working with survivors of power based violence as well as those who may be vulnerable to future victimization.

Bio: My name is Heather Johnson, and I am the Office Associate for EKU-SAFE. I live in Berea with my husband and son. We moved to the area from Dayton, OH in 2009. We love Kentucky so much! I should love it. I am fifth-generation Appalachian on both sides, so really, I just feel like I came home. I have been doing administrative/number-crunching work my entire adult life. I actually really like it! I’m strange that way. Otherwise, I enjoy listening to any and all good music. I love reading, especially sci-fi/fantasy. I like to garden and shop at second-hand stores. I love finding quirky, one-of-a-kind things. Mostly, I enjoy spending time with good friends, my two favorite fellas, and all of our critters.
