- I'm a sophmore at Arkansas Tech University and i'm majoring in Emergency management. Next fall, I will be attending the Arkansas Fire Academy for my Firefighter I & II certification. After i graduate college, I'm looking to become a full time firefighter for the city of Russellville, Bentonville, Springdale, or Fayetteville. Right now I'm with Crow Mountain Fire Dept. I'm a member of the Pope County OEM search and rescue team too and I'll be getting my EMT this spring.

- I Love Being in Fire/EMS Because:
- The thing I love most about being a firefighter is getting to help people when they are having an emergency and being able to give something back to your community. It's not just about putting out fires, but it is being able to help create a safer fire district for my neighbors to live in
