My journey began when I first jumped into a helicopter in the summer of 2001 as a 19-year-old rookie. Since then, I have learned from the ground up, serving in helitack crews, terrestrial units and Resource Coordination. I have honed my skills in driving, hand tools, chainsaws, firefighting, prescribed burning and firing, initial health care and rescue operations.
In my leadership roles spanning more than 15 years, I have mainly commanded fire crews but performing as a Wildfire Coordinator I have been in charge of fire sectors, Air Operations Coordination and Incident Command Posts, having taking part in the management of complex wildfires and emergency incidents. I am an open-minded leader with a strong commitment to our duties as first responders. I am also a passionate team builder, always striving to foster a collaborative and efficient work environment.
Training and instruction are the keystones in our profession. Throughout my career, I have traveled extensively, sometimes receiving and sometimes delivering training in Spain, India, France, the UK, Ireland, Tunisia, the Czech Republic, Poland, Portugal, Greece, California, Oregon, South Carolina, Florida and Argentina. This has allowed me to broaden my perspective and enhance my expertise in the field.
Currently, I balance my main job with various collaborations in the field of training, consultancy, and article publications. I am also committed to continuous learning and am currently furthering my studies to become an even more well-rounded professional.
