Summary
Graduated from Norco High School in 2023 with a 4.0 GPA. During high school, I accrued job experience working in construction and serving at a local snack bar, fostering a strong work ethic. Completed EMT training and served as a wildland firefighter with the Forest Service before joining L.A. County Fire Department in the Air and Wildland Section.
