Accomplishments

Runner-Completed 93 full marathons and participated in South Jordan Race series for years. I also pace half and full marathons assuring people that if they run with me, we will beat their expected time.

CISM President– (Critical Incident Stress Management) – A State of Utah team that debriefs First Responders and Police when involved in traumatic calls, by organizing a group therapy session with less than 48 hours’ notice.

Secretary/Treasurer- I have been the secretary/treasurer for the South Jordan firefighter’s union managing the budget meeting minutes and registering new members for 10 years. Our Union has 58 members.

Firefighters Association Chairman-I helped at both departments with the FF association, an organization to ensure firefighters have the necessary supplies to live at the station. Delegated to 3 other individuals at each station due to growth and not enough hours to provide the service I feel the firefighters want.

SJFD Angel Tree – The last 5 years I have organized a South Jordan Fire Department Angel tree for local families. I contact elementary schools in South Jordan and gather 8-10 families that are less fortunate, SJFD members provide a holiday dinner and gifts, and it is delivered by a fire engine and real firefighters.

South Jordan Elementary School PTA President- I organized and participated in back-to-school nights, fun run’s, field days, fundraisers, and PTA meetings.

Job Experience

Firefighter Paramedic-Salt Lake City Fire Department 1986-2008. While Employed with SLCFD I was the Public Education division for the department. Job description included scheduling, teaching, purchasing and budgeting to teach the citizens of Salt Lake City classes in CPR, First Responder First Aid, CERT, Fire Extinguisher, informing citizens what to do until the Fire Department arrives and my favorite, elementary school presentations.

Firefighter Paramedic- South Jordan Fire Department 2008-Dec. 2024. Shortly after being hired by SJFD I was asked to coordinate the American Heart Association CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) program administered by the department. This provided classes for every citizen in the city of South Jordan. While working for SJFD I strive to create an environment where families are welcome. I have organized the annual smoking butt competition/barbecue. A friendly competition and end of summer BBQ for members of SJFD. I have organized and cooked breakfast for burn camp NaNaMah. This includes planning a menu, finding volunteers and purchasing and cooking breakfast.

Community Outreach/First aid- I have a job working with the Commonspirit Holy Cross hospital network going to events and being a friendly face supporting the events and providing medical attention. I am used to events that have 500+ attendees and being an active participant.

Being a Firefighter is a job that required the ability to think and act on a split-second decision. I have been trained for the last 38 years to respond to emergencies without hesitation. I know these qualities will help to continue and improve any environment that I could work in.

Intangibles- I worked for South Jordan City and Salt Lake City Fire for 38 plus years and have a great work history. As a resident of South Jordan, I have participated in many emergencies and saved many lives. I work well under pressure and have the ability to remain calm and stay focused on the task at hand. I have help mentor many firefighters and EMT and Paramedics in the past and do enjoy teaching and mentoring.
