Why did you choose Northeastern?

I chose to come to NJC based on the opportunity to play baseball and study fire.

What do you like about your area of study?

My favorite part about studying Fire Science is I can always see a practical application for what I am learning.

What do you plan to do after graduation?

After graduation I plan to volunteer at Hygiene Fire Department and work my way up the wild land fire arena.

What inspires you?

When it comes to inspiration, I'd say I'm more driven than inspired. I'm ready to join the work force and start making a difference in the community.

What is your favorite memory at Northeastern?

To this point my favorite memory at NJC is the Fire Academy. While it obviously isn't fun running, the whole program is fun and exciting, learning about fire and getting to know the firefighters.

I love taking care of people. Knowing that I have made a difference in a person's life or just made their day a little bit warms my heart.
