What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for growth in emergency services or culinary fields.

I am a committed job seeker with a diverse background in emergency medical response and culinary arts. My experience as a volunteer firefighter and Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) has equipped me with the skills to handle high-pressure situations effectively. I have consistently met company needs through organized practices, whether in the kitchen as a line cook or on the front lines of emergency services.

In addition to my hands-on experience, I have a strong foundation in STEM, having attended a prestigious STEM Camp and actively participating in various extracurricular activities, including music and robotics. My leadership roles in marching band and as a drumline captain have honed my ability to work collaboratively and lead teams towards achieving common goals.

As I continue my education at Blackford Junior-Senior High School, I am eager to leverage my skills in a challenging role that allows me to contribute to my community while furthering my professional development in emergency services or related fields.
