My Training:

Associates degree from Vincennes University and pursuing a bachelor's in Fire Science from EKU in the degree at a distance program. There are a whole slew of other certs and trainings that I have obtained, but my college degree is the one I feel I am working the hardest for. I firmly believe that to succeed in our field you need to have an equal balance of education and experience. Not one or the other.

Why I Joined Fire/EMS

Why I Love Fire/EMS
