Summary
Motivated individual with experience in Firefighting and emergency response, outdoor safety, burn condition measurement and vehicle maintenance seeking to contribute as an environmental technician. While skills developed as a wildland firefighter and lifeguard don’t directly correspond to this role I’m more than willing to learn what it takes, as well as gain hands-on experience in this occupation. I feel confident in my ability to fulfill this job. Willing to complete OSHA 40-HR HAZWOPER hazardous waste training at a later date if needed.
