Summary
I'm a hard worker that has a passion for firefighting. My town and the house I grew up in burned down in the Tubbs wildfire in 2017, ever since I knew this was the line of work I wanted to pursue. I'm easy to work with and easily teachable. If I don't understand something, I will ask questions and do my best to find out how to solve whatever problem I'm having. I work well in team environments, and I know how to work well with different personalities. I've only been in this line of work for a little over a year now, so I have a lot to learn but I'm also eager to learn and absorb all the information I can to become a more well rounded individual. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.
