Summary

Senior at Pensacola Christian College who is studying to be a Military or Firefighter Chaplain one day. I'm taking a little break at PCC due to the death of a family member that caused depression. The plan is to regroup myself both mentally, socially, physically, and spiritually, in order to one day, fight for those who cannot fight for themselves, and speak for those who do not have a voice. Also a hardworking and passionate job seeker with strong organizational skills eager to secure an entry-level Lifeguard position. Ready to help the team achieve company goals.
