Ellen Joyce grew up in the Beverly neighborhood of Chicago, a classic south side Irish neighborhood. She went to school at Eastern Illinois University and earned a degree in Public Health Education and then went to graduate school at University of Illinois for the same.

At 25 Ellen moved back to Chicago when her mother had a stroke and she took the test to become a police dispatcher. Two years later she got the call that she was hired. This was in 1998 and 22 years later she is still on the job.

Some hilarious calls that she has received while dispatching.
