Summary

I've always enjoyed being of service to people and helping others. As a bartender, I've gained great personal skills in communication and handling complex situations, even involving inebriated guests. Proficiency in multitasking while in fast-paced environments allows me to accomplish goals while providing great customer service. I believe these skills, when combined with my desire to support and help others, will allow me to excel as a firefighter in Virginia Beach.
