August 2015 to February 2017: Electronics sales clerk at Walmart. I assisted customers, answered their questions about products and provided direction in choosing a variety of electronic merchandise, usually at night by myself. Worked anywhere from 20 to 40 hours of overtime during a two-week pay period.

November 2012 – April 2015: Sales associate and photo clerk at Walgreens drug store. Good suggestive sales record and outstanding work record. I was unemployed for three years in Florida, which is why I returned to Kentucky.

December 2008 - August 2009: Emergency Medical Technician with Americare Ambulance Service, working both on 911 trucks and on inter-facility trucks, transporting trauma and medical patients to various ERs, caring for these patients en route and transporting others to facilities such as Hospice.

April 2005 - April 2008: EMT with TransCare Ambulance Service. As an EMT working on ambulances either on city or country shifts, worked

with a variety of traumatic injuries, medical emergencies and psychiatric cases. With my interest in going into the medical field, this provided a situation to see a variety of ailments and conditions

in the field, giving some scope to the knowledge acquired from studies.

1993 - 2003: Staff Writer for 10 years with The Tampa Tribune, now defunct, but was once one of Florida's largest newspapers. I was originally hired to write about crime, which I did for ten years in addition to general assignment work. While covering serial killers and pedophiles in Polk and Pinellas Counties, I also wrote features about a variety of subjects - including medical, business, tourism, disasters, riots and about anything else covered within the realm of print news.

During my last five years at the paper, I covered the military and intelligence community, as CENTCOM and SOCOM are both based in Tampa. I created a niche that was recognized with awards from a variety of military organizations. I developed a close tie with the Army Special Forces as well as the intelligence community. Green Berets, Delta Force and Navy SEALs trusted me, because I did not burn them or put operations in danger.

1989 - 1993: Staff Writer for the Winter Haven News Chief in Winter Haven, FL. While there I covered Polk County government, state and national political issues, the environment and crime.

EDUCATION:

2003 - 2008: the University of South Florida for B.S. in bio-medical sciences. I did not complete my final course to get the degree due to immediate opening availability at MUA above. During my time at USF, I also completed EMT training at HCC in Tampa. I am 4 credits short of a bio-med degree, but have no interest whatsoever in finalizing it.

1986 - 1988: B.S. in Journalism from the University of Florida in Gainesville, FL. While working for the student produced Independent Florida Alligator and for the Gainesville Sun, worked full-time while carrying 12 to 17 hours of classes per semester.
