Michael Burke is a Robbery and Crisis Management Consultant for Shazam.

She also serves as volunteer conservator, assists her neighbors and just about anyone else in need, and is clearly the child of a former law enforcement officer. She has received an award for helping, along with a teller, to intervene in the exploitation of a bank customer. They likely saved his life given that the exploiter had just been released from prison for nearly beating this same victim to death.
