Summary
With over 8 years of experience in the United States Marine Corps, I have gained valuable skills in discipline, leadership, and problem-solving. Transitioning from the military to become a wilderness therapy guide, I have successfully applied these skills to excel in my new role. As a result, I quickly progressed and was promoted to Assistant Field Director. In this position, my responsibilities included providing assistance to staff during challenging situations that involved client safety risks. Additionally, I ensured that both clients and staff were provided with necessary supplies and meticulously maintained detailed logs to comply with state regulations.
