ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT WILDFIRES.

I’m lucky enough to have a really incredible day job that I accidentally stumbled into back in 2020.

(NO, I am NOT a firefighter.)

I work full time for the federal government handling public affairs needs for an agency focused on forestry and wildfire.

While I love every single aspect of my job — ranging from standing up on camera for media interviews to writing news releases about recreation sites — my favorite aspect of my job is working as a Public Information Officer on wildfires.

Here’s just a slice of the cool stuff I get paid to do.

WORKING ON WILDFIRES

I’m not a firefighter, but I do get to work on wildfires! Here are some of the wildfires I’ve experienced during my career as a Public Information Officer.
