Summary
I am a Forest and Fire Sciences graduate from California Polytechnic University San Luis Obispo. I played collegiate baseball at Allan Hancock College for three years. I attended the four-week Accelerated EMT Course at UCLA and passed the NREMT. I have one half season of experience working as a wildland firefighter on a Type II handcrew on the Los Padres National Forest. I learned how to manage water systems, plumbing work, and and customer service as a pool cleaner and customer service. Being hardworking is my greatest strength as I will work hard at all aspects of the job to assure that myself, the agency, and the job members will succeed. I am currently attending the Allan Hancock College Fire Academy, and will graduate May 16, 2024.
