I joined the Franklin Fire Company in September of 2021 as soon as I could at the age of 14. Over the last two years I have been fulfilling the requirements of a junior member by completing many classes and obtaining plenty of certifications and knowledge needed to help the community. In the summer of 2023 I worked for Mason Dixon Barbecue as a store associate. I assisted with inventory, restocking items, and insuring customers find what they need and promote other items to them. I cleaned grills and smokers and serviced grills from customers. I operated a forklift to unload semi trucks with deliveries, and I built relationships with customers while working events and assisted with cleaning up after. Since June of 2022, I have helped out every once in a while, usually just a day or two a week on a local farm. I help out with chores, like feeding the cows and turkeys, sterilizing animal barns, and operating machinery.
