>> I really like that I get to help people.
I get to figure out solutions to problems that people might have or large groups
of people might have and at the end of the day it's really about meeting those unmet needs.
Well every job has its challenges.
With this it's more every emergency is different so you don't really know what to expect
when you do get that call so I think working through the different aspects
of the emergency is really, it's quite challenging
but that's definitely part of the job.
Emergency management is a growing field.
It's on its way to becoming a full-blown profession so one of the things
that has really emerged is not only the experience side of the job
but also education and certification.
Credentialing is a big part of the field right now.
I have a Master Exercise Practitioner certification and that's
through the Emergency Management Institute which is run by FEMA,
DHS and that's for the exercise side.
I'm currently finishing up my Master of Science in emergency management here
at Millersville so that is a great program.
I can't say enough about how well that's prepared me to further my career.
