I was born Tiffany Brooke Stevenson on September 24, 1981. I grew up in Walker, Louisiana and graduated from Walker High School in May of 1999. I was raised Apostolic Pentecostal. For those of you who aren't familiar with it. We base our denomination on Acts 2:38. And uphold doctrines for modest and holy living. As a youth, I was very active in the youth ministry. I was a member of the quiz team, youth choir and anything else I could get myself into. As far as high school came, I was a member of several organizations including Marching Band, YMCA and the art club. As I got older, my two worlds didn't mesh and I started straying from the church. My college years started at Southeastern in August of 1999 and lasted 2 semesters. I began in Nursing, but quickly decided I wanted to go for Criminal Justice. I dropped out of school in May of 2000 so I could find a job and make money. HA! My mother quickly advised me if I weren't to finish college, I'd assume all bills and finances associated with my life. So to appease her, I started Louisiana Technical College in Baton Rouge. I graduated in December of 2001 with an Associates degree in Accounting Technology. I worked in banking for a year and decided I absolutely abhorred Accounting and anything to do with the financial world!! So I found an advertisement in the paper for a position at the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office as a Deputy Sheriff in Civil Process. Wow! I'd found my niche. I loooooove Law Enforcement. I worked there from 05/02 to 08/04. During my time there I was married on April 2, 2004 to Rodney and took his last name Kennedy. I plan on keeping it although we will be officially divorced in January. Our marriage didn't last because I wasn't faithful. Plain and simple. Wholly honest. There's no sugar coating or hiding it. I screwed up and lost my husband/best friend. For what? Nothing but momentary pleasure. Would I do it again? Never! And I think no one should do it. I still love my ex-husband, but it's a love of him being the father of my children now. But this is further on in my story. Anywho...My uncle was working uniform patrol at BRPD and told me of an opening in their communications. So after 2 years and a new marriage I decided I needed more money. Hey who could pass up 4 more dollars an hour?! So I did it! And gosh darn it...I loved it! Absolutely looooooved it!!! I caught on really well and my career took off. I stayed there from 08/04 to 11/06. During this time is when my unfaithfulness began. There is no excuse for my sins, but there are circumstances that I don't think helped. I worked all the time and I do mean ALL the time!!! I brought home awesome checks. But all this time I kind of forgot about my husband. Well we had a child together in 05. The sweetest baby boy, Seth Levens. And things went downhill. I became a totally different person. I didn't want anything to do with my child or husband. I would just wander off at night and stay out all night. I started smoking and drinking heavily. Then I became pregnant again and had my baby girl, Kylie Brooke in 07. during this time my moods and attitude leveled back out. But as soon as I had her they changed back to the way after I had my first child. Well by this time, I'd myself figured out something was not right and seen the doctor about it. I was diagnosed with Post Partum Depression. I'd never heard of this!!! But supposedly the rapidly fluctuating hormone levels were causing me to lose all control. During this time I'd taken a job with my dream employer, Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office and was quickly put in the position of Dispatcher in charge. I was finally put on some meds to level everything out. But of course it was too late for my husband and I. He found out in January of 2008 that I'd been having a improper relationship and we split. I went crazy for 3 months. Just hiding from my family and everyone that loved me and partied hard. I thought my family hated me and wanted nothing to do with me. Well in March of 08, I'd had a huge fight with the guy I left my husband for and went riding. I'd packed all my stuff from his house to my car. And just drove. Praying and crying in my car, The Lord spoke to me the loudest and most audibly I believe he ever has. He said "Go home to your parents!" I hadn't spoke with them in 3 months and thought they hated me..heck no I wasn't going!!! To be humiliated?!?! Well then the Lord spoke again.."Go home to your parents! Everything is going to be alright" So after another 30 minutes of being stubborn, I turned down their road. When I made it to the drive my mom was at the front door. Come to find out the pastor had just left about 45 minutes before I came and had prayed with my parents for my return. They'd been praying at the exact time I started hearing his voice. My parents enveloped me in their arms and just held me. I moved back in with them that night. Did that stop my outlandish behavior? No. I think it made it worse, because I did anything and everything to let them know that I was an "independent grown up". Knowing good and well I was living in their home and them helping pay my bills when I was on the verge of getting my car taken away for non-payment. I worked as a waitress from January to July. And even bartended. I saw one night tho just where it was going to get me and how "real" my friends were. So I left and found a job in a convenience store training as Assistant Manager. All during this time, I'd been trying to get back into law enforcement. I was called about a week and a half ago by St Helena Parish Sheriff's Office asking when I could start. I started that night! And I haven't regret the move yet. I love my job. It's just me in this little dispatch room from 1800-0600 with 2 great deputies, Aron & Ced-e :) As far as my career goes, law enforcement it is...I've learned a lot in years I've been under the badge. I've learned who to trust and how to play the game. I start school in January at Southeastern double majoring in Criminal Justice/Forensic Pathology with a minor in Social Work. My ultimate goal is to work for the State Police.
