About Me:

I started with the fire service in 97 when we moved back to my husbands hometown of Midland Md. I spent 4 years with that department, starting out as a firefighter/first responder. We moved nearby to Shaft, and I transferred there. I was firefighter/firstresponder in that company, elected secretary and served there for a year and a half. We moved to Washington county where I then joined Maugansvill Goodwill Fire Company. I served there as firefighter/EMT. After 4 years, we moved to the Eastern Shore where we joined Girdletree Fire Department. I am now a member for a year, where I was recently in November elected as EMS Rescue Captain.
