Summary
I am an accomplished welder with a proven track record, showcasing expertise in MIG, Stick, and Flux Core Welding techniques. I’m known for my precision in fabrication and blueprint reading, coupled with a keen attention to detail, significantly enhancing productivity and quality control. While I enjoy many aspects in this career mentoring junior welders, elevating team skill levels and ensuring adherence to industry standards are the highlights.
I’m seeking to change my career from a decorated welder, to a Firefighter-EMT. Working and responding for my community is a dream. The comradery of a fire department and feeling at home in a station, is exactly where I want to be. I’m so excited to start this journey and grow in this career.
