I am currently a firefighter with experience in fire suppression, rescue operations, and hazardous material handling. I focus on improving teamwork, ensuring safety, and achieving operational goals to better myself and others around me. My experience between working on the ambulance and fire truck has made me reliable and adaptable with skills in emergency medical response, incident command, and community education. I have strived to make sure I have effective communication, physical stamina, and quick decision making. Opportunities of advancing skills as a firefighter excite me and motivate me to become that much better towards the career.
