Areas of expertise:
I wouldn't consider myself an expert in any area, I still feel like I have a ton to learn.
1 thing I feel I can offer which I feel is unique is the ability to address problems and solutions via writing. Words are my release when I am frustrated and most of the time are my way of coming up with solutions to problems
Bio:
I have been on Springfield Twp. Department for 11 years, the last 4 years serving in an officer capacity as the Lieutenant of an Engine House. I began my journey in the fire service 13 years ago and have never looked back. I truly love what I do each and every day it's not just some cliché. I feel I have reached a point in my career where I am ready to share the knowledge I have learned from others and try and pass it along to the next generation coming up behind. Along with continue to learn each day from others mistakes as well as my own in an effort to better myself and those around me.

It was definitely a hard lesson to learn with many “reminders” given to me by my parents. However it instilled a sense of ownership in me from a young age. When ownership is a thought it is usually…

TITLES

What is in a title? A title defined by the dictionary is; a descriptive or distinctive appellation, especially one belonging to a person by right of rank, office, attainment. It’s something that can give a person power and authority or it can mean you have achieved the most elite status in a sport profession. In all instances the word title holds a lot of power!
