Summary
I am an enthusiastic and driven individual that loves living a life of adventure. I am pursuing a B.A. in Entrepreneurship and intend to attend graduate school for clinical psychology. I have spent 12 years in the medical field first as a Paramedic and then as an RPSGT. I have immensely enjoyed my time in these professions and I have gained many useful skills that have helped me become an adaptable, quick thinking and motivated individual with well-developed leadership skills and the humility to take direction and feedback without ego.
