About Me:

When I was young my dad used to shoot video and pictures for the local news station so I was always getting woken up in the middle of the night to go stand at a fire, fatal MVA, or some other tragedy. I guess it was engrained into me then that I was going to be in this field. Though I detoured slightly in the 8th graded I decided I wanted to be a Medical Examiner. I live for the fire service and it is always an alternative if I don't achieve my main goal. If you want to know more check out my facebook ~ http://tennessee.facebook.com/profile.php?id=547114076

Why I Joined Fire/EMS

Well my dad is a Firefighter and of course like father like daughter :) I would always hang around the station and go to the meetings and I was hooked. So I joined up and enrolled in the OSHA 1152 class in July.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

Leaving a call and knowing I have helped someone or made their day just a little better.
