Accomplishments

-Maintaining Composure in high-stress situations, while fostering team building to meet either the individual or group goal.

-Building a business of my own that I intend to pursue in my own time for the rest of my life; living a life of service as the ultimate goal.

-Pursuing both EMT and WEMT (Wilderness EMT) certifications.

Interests

I have found my highest calling in the service of others I pursue this endeavor through my personal business ElevatingUs, as well as the podcast accompanying said business

I am also pursuing this calling in the form of being a medical first responder in both wilderness and urban environments

I think most importantly, I strive to engrain this pursuit into anything I do, every day; with my main daily practice being, "Leave every person, place, and situation better than I found it"

I am always looking for situations and endeavors where I can connect with others, work with them, problem solve and communicate with them, to be the change I want to see in our world
