More to come soon... - About Me:
- I am a 19 year old female. I am one of only 3 active female members in my department of 23 active members. I am a full time college student, part-time pharmacy technician, and a full time volunteer. I have been a firefighter since January of 2009, I know it hasn't been long, but I've seen and learned so much more in this year than I have ever thought possible. But the brotherhood that I have become a part of, I wouldn't give it up for anything in the world.
- Day Job:
- EMT, and a pharmacy technician
- Relationship Status:
- In a Relationship
- Why I Joined Fire/EMS
- Firefighting runs in my blood. Several generations on my dad's side of the family have been firefighters for Bellevue, now my dad is the chief, and my brother is also a Lieutenant. It was only a matter of time before the girl of the family joined. I have grown up around firefighting, and it has always been something I've wanted to do. Now that I've joined, I've come to realize that firefighting gives you a sense of fulfillment that I've never experienced before. Also, the trust you feel among your brothers is indescribable.
- Why I Love Fire/EMS
- there is nothing like working side by side with some of the bravest (or craziest) people you know, and the reaction of the community to see a young woman on the fire scene is unbelievable.
