About Me:

I started volunteering 3 years ago and started with EMT school in Loudoun County Virginia. In Ashburn, we were a combined fire/rescue department so I began being interested in the fire side. I went through fire school in the fall 2008 and loved it! I recently moved from Loudoun County, VA to Powell, OH (outside of Columbus) for my day job and am interested in finding a place to volunteer here!
