I would summarize myself to be a professional, focused, enthusiastic, proficient, and motivated individual. A very goal oriented and strong work ethic in character. Very adapting to various environments ranging from calm to stressful. A 7 years Active Serving Army Veteran in the Vermont and Massachusetts Army National Guard as well as a life long Somerville Resident.
I strongly believe in giving back as well as as aiding to the community and City of Somerville. I believe a career as First Responder in Emergency Servies and Public Safety based on my background, prior training, and knowledge I have built from all my years in prior experience demonstrates my readiness and capabilities as a excellent candidate for the City.
I believe in the emphasis of team work as well as bonding, comradery, and boosting moral in any given work environment when necessary. Growing up in the City of Somerville attending Somerville Public Schools, participating in Youth Programs, High School Varsity Sports, and graduating from Somerville High School have taught me these values as well as learning to embrace and appreciate the City`s unique diverse population within our community.
