was offered a Utility Arborist Apprentice position with the
Western Utility Division of The Davey Tree Expert Company.
I have been at Davey for about a year working with a
very talented arborist foreman to refine my skills and
prepare me for my ISA Arborist Certification exam. I have
learned so much at Davey. I've participated in disaster
relief and also completed aerial rescue training. My goal
in five to ten years' time is to be an ISA Certified Arborist-
Utility Specialist who works with the newest technology
maintaining the infrastructure that powers our lives. It's
what enables us to stay connected to each other around
the world, and I feel happy to be a part of that.
I joined UCFS because I want to be a part of creating and
sustaining livable communities across the globe for genera-
tions to come. For instance, I recently attended a stimulating
lecture on Watershed Health and Climate Change Resiliency.
I think it's so important to have a place like UCFS, where like-
minded professionals can network and turn their ideas into
real-world solutions that strengthen our collective resiliency.
