She shared her story, plus the less than glamorous life of her job (it involves Spam and carrying insanely heavy packs), what her day-to-day training entails and what it\u2019s like to be in a field that is dominated by people that don\u2019t look like her. Plus, she tells us why she\u2019s passionate about inspiring the next generation of young women to pursue careers that may fall outside the norm.<\/p>\n<p>Listen to this episode if:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You want to protect the environment.<\/li>\n<li>You&#8217;ve never thought about being a firefighter.<\/li>\n<li>You want to be incredibly strong.
