Job description

As a Ranger in Santa Cruz County, I work in a very diverse area. Being a State Park Ranger is unique in that I do everything from interpretation and maintenance to performing arrests and medical rescues. It is an exciting career with a lot of opportunities to work anywhere in the state. Plus, I get to wear a cool Stetson.

What would you say to prospective students who are thinking about applying to this program?

If you have questions in a class, communicate with your Professor. They’re here to help, but you have to be willing to reach out and get it. Use this time to create a solid resume. Build it with related summer jobs and internships. Don’t procrastinate…just don’t. Believe me. Explore. Humboldt County is beautiful. Take some time to check it out and have fun.
