I am a Fire Dispatcher in Grangeville, ID for the Nez Perce Clearwater National Forest. My start with the USFS began on this forest working on a hand crew out of Fenn Ranger Station on the Selway River. I went from firefighter to lookout to aerial fire detection to dispatch. I've appreciated every single position and the unique connections to wildfire and the landscape. I come from a family of artists and creative people and I truly enjoy being able to link my love of fire to my love of art.
