Summary

In the spring of 2020 I graduated from Montana State University with a degree in psychology and a minor in business administration. After college I was determined in finding a way to make a difference. As a result, I obtained my NREMT as well as my Firefighter I & II. I am currently working at Williston city Fire Department in North Dakota as a firefighter AEMT. As your employee, you can expect me to always conduct myself in a way that reflects positively on the department and my coworkers. Ultimately, what has proven to be successful in the past is my ability to understand how my performance impacts the organization as a whole and to act accordingly.
