FEMA employs nearly 1,500 in the state followed closely by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which has been working to repair the state’s flood management system. Another major federal employer is the USDA’s National Finance Center which employs over 1,000 at its New Orleans offices.

It would be my pleasure to serve in some way to better the state of Louisiana. My heart felt admoration to all that went though the Hurricane are still with me today. I am now able to relocate and have the ability to help make a difference if given the chance. My skilled trades are in FPI level II , Press operator and machinest. I enjoy a challenge that reqiures back bone, elbow grease,thinking and just doing. My capablities are to organize, make somthing out of nexted to nothing and live on a budget while mantaining a respectable standard of living. If anyone reading this would have a place for me to work I would greatly appeciate any feed back. Thank you and have a blessed day!
I suit up and show up!
