Summary
Journeyman electrician with a focus on quality control and teaching.
I was captain of the Century Lacrosse Team in 2000, treasurer of the Gamma Sigma Fraternity in 2003, and part of the Feminist Alliance Pacific University 2002-2004. During my time in Local 48 in Portland, Or, I took classes on recruiting and recruited many new electricians for the union hall. I love learning new skills and expanding my horizons in many different areas of life. I'm currently working on my firefighter 1 and EMT basic certification through the state of Wyoming. I'm a volunteer firefighter for LCFD#3 and #6.
