Summary
A well-rounded individual with strong critical thinking and assessment skills, enabling sound judgment in fast-paced, unpredictable outdoor environments. I bring hands-on experience with outdoor skills such as navigation, basic survival techniques, and equipment handling, along with practical mechanical knowledge useful in field operations. My adaptability and resourcefulness allow me to respond effectively to emergencies, changing conditions, and visitor needs. I have a general understanding of how law enforcement and public safety agencies operate, which supports my ability to follow procedures and collaborate in multi-agency settings. Whether working independently or as part of a team, I maintain a proactive, safety-conscious, and service-oriented approach in all aspects of my work.
