"Although I quite enjoyed working with the great folks I wanted to head back to California so I worked my way back getting a merit transfer to the Humbolt Toiyabe National Forest as SFF, then promoting to AFEO, and getting back into Region 5 on the Inyo National Forest where eventually I promoted to FEO... Now I currently work on the Eldorado National Forest in the same position. I love my job. The people and the adventures that it takes me on! In my free time you’ll find me traveling to my favorite spots to see friends and family and most likely near some body of water to swim and paddle board at!"
