My Project

I have had an exceptional opportunity as an educator to start a program at my high school, called the Public Services Academy. It will help students who aspire to be first responders (Fire, EMS, & Police) get job related training certifications and licenses. When they graduate high school, they will have job related experiences, knowledge, and certifications that will help them be employable in first responder world.

The course that I am trying to build right now is an Fire Service focused course that will get my kiddos hands-on training to get their Firefighter 1, Firefighter 2, and Hazardous Materials certifications while in high school and graduate job ready for the fire service.
