I have recently changed career paths from Secretary to Emergency Management. I studied at American Military University where I earned a BA degree in Emergency Management. While working as a Secretary at County of San Bernardino, I built up my emergency management knowledge and skills by working in the Public Works department. I also was a volunteer with San Bernardino County Fire in the Fire Corps as an Emergency Communications operator. I continue to learn with each challenge that comes my way. The current pandemic is no exception. I always teach my children the same lesson my father taught me growing up: No one can take away education.
