Summary
Hardworking professional bringing detail-oriented approach to food preparation and handling. Reliable individual possessing excellent communication and problem-solving strengths. During my EMT class I completed 20 patient contacts. Treating actual real life patients in crisis has made me learn how to keep a cool head in very difficult situations and a very good listener. Know how to treat wounds and stop major bleeding professionally from doing it in the field. From my Fire B1-Fire B6 I learn fire protection, different types of fires, facilities, equipments, fire detection/suppression, safety/training, and emergency response.
