== Background ==
=== Personal Life ===
When her widowed mother was diagnosed with dementia, she came to live with Max and her family in Beechboro. Her younger brother-in-law James is with the Traffic Enforcement Group. For a while after the incident in 2001, she was addicted to prescription pain medication and attended meetings with Narcotics Anonymous. Her husband Greg, a geologist, was married previously and his ex-wife still sometimes tries to cause friction in their relationship, but she has undiagnosed mental health issues of her own to deal with. She dislikes politics but says that is “mainly because it involves politicians”.
=== Career History ===
She has owned dogs all her life and spent her early career as a dog handler and trainer; she also now trains puppies to be service dogs and still volunteers with the canine section as “antagonist”. She is partially deaf in one ear due to the same incident that won her the APM in 2001 and caused the pain that led to her addiction. In a lateral move from her position as Assistant Commissioner (Specialist and Support Services), Max took over as Assistant Commissioner (State Crime) when Charles Branson retired.
