Summary
I am a driven and focused individual who excels when working with others. Born into a Firefighting family, the exposure at a young age made me observe that a happy life comes from service to others. I am dedicated to serving my community and trying my best to make a positive impact on somebody's life. I found a Niche in public service and specifically emergency services because people do not call on the best day of their life. Instead, you are dealing with distraught, stressed individuals, who are looking to you as a professional problem solver. I personally would like to not have it any other way.
