- New York
- Years in Fire/EMS:
- Less than a year...
- Why I Joined the Fire/EMS:
- I am calm, cool, collected, not grossed or freaked out, with no real fears. It would almost be selfish not to. The job's always something I have been so passionate about. Even if things are grim, I will always have a hand to be held if nothing else can be done. I didn't choose this job.... it's just in me... It's who I am.
- Relationship Status:
- Single
- Department Type:
- Fire/Rescue Department - Volunteer
- Rank/Role There:
- Firefighter / EMT-Basic
- About Me:
- I moved to New York almost 2 years ago- Starting my lifelong dream. My dream is to become a Rescue Medic. I'm an EMT who is currently on the FDNY waiting list (should be in the July academy), looking for a volley house on Long Island, and studying to become a Fire Fighter/Paramedic. I am also attending nursing school.
- I Love Being in Fire/EMS Because:
- Just being there for people when they are scared... Knowing that when you left; grandkids still had their grandma, parents still had their child, a family still had their dog, photos and such weren't all but lost because you got there in enough time.
