"Do things that scare you. Forcing yourself outside of your comfort zone can be very rewarding, even if you fail" - Rheannon Cunningham.  

Rhe is a graduate of the University of Texas with an Interior Design degree and had a 10 year career going when she pulled the ripcord and joined the Austin Police Department.

Now, 4 years after her midlife career pivot, we discuss...

That fateful ride-along with a friend on the Austin Police Force that started this life changing decision.

The process of applying for the police academy with less than a 5% chance of being accepted.

What it's really like to go through the police academy.

The scariest and most adrenaline pumping part of being a police officer.

The unique challenges that she faces as a female on the force versus her male counterparts.

As if starting her career as an Interior Designer and 180 degreeing it to become a Police Officer wasn't enough, Rhe is also an avid cyclist and racer. She proves that "doing things that scare you" is the way that she lives her life and so far, it's been a pretty good ride.
