I am a highly motivated and dedicated firefighter who has experience in fire for the past 7 years. I started my fire career with the Crawford Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department in 2018 to 2022 and then started my professional career with the USDA Forest Service as a wildland firefighter on the Pine Ridge Ranger District (PRRD) in Chadron Nebraska in May of 2023. Since my start with the Forest Service I have gained a immense amount of knowledge and leadership skills from the experience I have done and from my coworkers and from the fellow firefighters I have gotten to work with. I have become more proficient and skilled in advanced fire operations, wildland fire behavior, leadership, communication with radio use and with fire personal, and critical thinking in high stress environments. I bring a positive and committed attitude that contributes to learning and to the growth of the program and organization that I participate in.
