Heather S. - Unit 29

Hometown: Chester, VA

Status: K9 Handler-in-Training

Alter Ego: Telecom Sales Manager

Qualifications: First Aid & CPR with AED, Open Water Diver, FTM.

DOG: 

 Recommended Reading: Anything keeping me still for more than 10 minutes

Major Deployments/Misc:

Most Memorable Moment: Search and Rescue = Aspen jumping on a spool for the first time (6/26/10). Life = Days I have been able to enjoy boating and skiing with family and friends.

Notes: Search and rescue is a new found passion and I am grateful for the opportunity to take this journey with Aspen. You can only admire those who have been successful in search and rescue and the knowledge they have acquired. Still being very new to this experience, I am looking forward to growing and learning. I have found it very comforting to be a part of something much bigger than myself. The advice I would give to someone looking to pursue this challenge, "Be prepared to humble yourself."
