Earning my degree in Fire Administration from Weatherford College not only fulfilled
a personal goal but helped me achieve my career goals. Working toward and finishing
my degree introduced me to ideas I otherwise would not have explored and reinforced
skills that have helped me to be able to promote in rank. I still use these skills
as I continue to serve in the fire service.

My educational pursuits began in the Fire Science Degree Program at Weatherford College.
They included degrees in Fire Service Administration, Protection and Safety Technology,
and Emergency Medical Services which provided the base knowledge that I needed to
become a well-rounded public servant and progress through the ranks of my department.
In addition, the fire science programs at Weatherford College equipped me with the
educational foundation that I needed to attain both my Bachelors and Masters degrees.
Simply put, the education that I received at Weatherford College prepared me for my
future as a career public servant.
