Summary

Each day I aspire to prove my capabilities not only to others but also to myself. From my professional experiences I have gained understanding in how important goals are, whether they are simple or complex. I have found a love for helping others using my knowledge and skills within the fire and EMS world. Through working in chaotic situations I have learned to stay calm, under control, and focus on the task at hand; this resulting in being comfortable under intense and high stress situations. All the qualities and habits I learned at these jobs, I am able to seek and maintain full-time position that offers professional challenges utilizing interpersonal skills, excellent time management and problem-solving skills.
