Summary
I’ve been a volunteer firefighter for over 4 years, and recently became certified by the Texas Department of Health Services as an emergency medical technician (EMT).

I've have learned to work well in dealing with the public and different personalities. I believe I would be a good addition to the team because I bring leadership skills, customer service skills, ability to adapted quickly, and the desire to learn new skills. Along with that, detail-oriented team player with strong organizational skills. Ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously with a high degree of accuracy.
