In this edition of the DK Employee Spotlight, we highlight the newly published author of the novel As I Live Dying, Amira Selimovic. Amira has proven herself to be a shining example of creativity and talent in our family of employees, and we’re excited for the opportunity to support her work. Amira’s novel tells a story of self-discovery and acceptance, and is now available for purchase at Schuler Books and on Amazon.

We recently sat down with Amira to discuss her background, her book, and her future.

DK Security is blessed with incredible officers in our vast family of over 2,300 employees. The DK Employee Spotlight series aims to highlight some of these talented individuals. They are our shining examples of hospitality security and the reason DK Security continues to grow and thrive. For our very first employee spotlight, we would like to introduce you to Lieutenant Kristin Stimpson. 

Last summer, DK Security had the opportunity to meet with Shamus Smith and Katie Whittaker from the League of Enchantment. This non-profit organization is a volunteer cosplay group that operates across the state of Michigan. Members dress up in movie-quality superhero costumes and visit children in hospitals and participate in community events. 

On Saturday, October 27, 2018, congregants of Tree of Life synagogue held a morning Shabbat service in the quaint Pittsburgh neighborhood of Squirrel Hill. Shortly after the service started, a man entered the synagogue with an AR-15 and three Glock handguns. He opened fire on the congregation, leaving eleven people dead. It was a horrific tragedy that only added to the list of mass shootings that have occurred within the United States. The unfortunate reality is that events like these can occur anywhere at any time and in areas described as safe by the residents and neighbors, which was the case for Tree of Life synagogue.
