Summary
I was first introduced to the fire service at a very young age and as I grew older I knew that one day I wanted to be a Firefighter. The day I received my High School Diploma I submitted my application to the Waite Park Fire Department and I have now been with them for about 2 years. I have always been very dedicated to this profession and make a very high percentage of calls. One of my favorite things about being a firefighter is spreading positivity in the community and helping people when in need. A few things that I can bring to this job is the willingness to learn, whether that be through training or responding to calls. The biggest thing that I can bring to this job is the willingness to train hard and improve my skills so I can be the best firefighter throughout my entire career in the fire service.
