Ms. Willis is the coordinator for The Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles\u2019 (DHSMV) teen driver safety program that began in 2009, and, since then, the department has provided presentations regarding traffic safety and Graduated Driver License laws to thousands of teens throughout Florida. In 2017 Ms. Willis did 62 teen presentations and reached 1,619 teens across the state. In Northwest Florida, Ms. Willis reached 550 teens and made over 20 teen presentations in 2017.\n<br><br>\nDuring her presentations she not only  discusses with teens about traffic safety but educates them about the dangers of impaired driving. In addition, Ms. Willis provides an interactive experience demonstrating the effects of alcohol impairment using an Impaired Driving Simulator and Fatal Vision\u00ae Impairment Goggles.\n<br><br>\nIn many occasions Ms. Willis and her unit have partnered with MADD\u2019s Power of Youth program bringing the Impaired Driving Simulator and Fatal Vision Googles. She has collaborated with MADD and presented at different community centers, teen centers, high schools and at drug court. In the summer of 2017 Ms. Willis partnered with MADD NWFL and Tallahassee Police Department for Let\u2019s Talk Summer Series. This program lasted all summer and focused on speaking to teens about drugs, the dangers of underage drinking and related consequences-specifically, deaths and injuries resulting from riding in a car with an impaired driver.\n<br><br>\nFurthermore, Ms. Willis has brought the Driving Simulator to our 2017 Walk Like MADD, Tie One of For Safety Press Conference and Safety Fair, You Fit\u2019s Client Appreciation Day with MADD, Leon Count Week of Awareness and many other community events.\n<br><br>\nI am pleased to nominate a fellow advocate that wants to promote traffic safety among teens. \n[\/blogcontent]<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b2fc18 credit-left elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2b2fc18\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"645\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/madd.org\/florida\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/05\/final-interview.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-52\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/madd.org\/florida\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/05\/final-interview.jpeg 645w, https:\/\/madd.org\/florida\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/05\/final-interview-189x300.jpeg 189w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 645px) 100vw, 645px\" style=\"width:100%;height:158.76%;max-width:645px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Credit: Irving PD<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-db7a522 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"db7a522\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>1.
