What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my emergency management skills while contributing to community safety and well-being.

I am a dedicated firefighter and Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) with a strong commitment to serving my community. Currently, I work with the Boston Fire Department, where I conduct search and rescue operations, fire suppression, and provide emergency medical services. My training in hazardous materials (HAZMAT) allows me to effectively identify and mitigate threats, ensuring the safety of Boston residents.

Prior to my role as a firefighter, I served as a Patrol Officer with the MBTA Transit Police, where I provided professional law enforcement services and conducted criminal investigations. My experience in the United States Army as a Sergeant and Armorer has further honed my leadership skills, as I was responsible for mentoring junior soldiers and managing valuable equipment. I graduated on the Commandant's list in the Basic Leaders Course, showcasing my dedication to excellence.
