Summary
I am a motivated career-changer pursuing a long-term career in the fire service. After years in leadership and operations roles, I am intentionally transitioning into public service where teamwork, discipline, and helping others matter more than titles or sales numbers. I am a Marine Corps veteran with experience working under pressure, following direction, and being accountable to a team. I am currently completing my EMT certification and am committed to putting in the work, learning from others, and earning my place as a firefighter with Orange County Fire Rescue.
