General Ranger Assistant Intern
Mount Rainier National Park
In this multifaceted role, I accumulated over 650 hours of hands-on experience across various responsibilities within the park. My primary duties involved general patrol, where I engaged with visitors, provided interpretive education, and performed routine trail maintenance. I regularly facilitated trailside educational talks, sharing knowledge about the park's history, ecology, and conservation efforts. Additionally, I played an active role in emergency medical response, assisting with rescue operations and working alongside leadership during ambulance navigation. I contributed to supplying necessary medical equipment and supported litter carry-outs in challenging environments, ensuring the safety and well-being of both visitors and staff.
