Other Past or Current Departments and Organizations

Jamaica, VT was my first fire department, after a time there I also joined Winhall, VT, as I lived the same distance from both departments. Went to Nevada, where I got to train with Pahrump. I know, funny town name. Left them, joined Vernon.

About Me:

~I've been with the fire department/s on and off for the last 6 years in varying degrees.
~I have a 14 month old. She's my everything.
~I've always wanted to be a firefighter.
~Besides firefighting, I love cars, hunting, fishing, and snowboarding.
~I believe that everything happens for a reason. What that reason is, that's yet to be determined.
~I'm multilingual, language tends to be really easy to me.
~I was pregnant when I turned 18, so I'm taking Firefighter one this year.
~If you ask my role models, hands down, my mom and step dad. Both have always supported my desire to be a firefighter 100%, and both are firefighters themselves.
