Background

About Matthew Craven

I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Arizona State University in August 2017. I was conferred a Master of Arts in Emergency Management/Homeland Security. In September of 2017, I was inducted into the National Honor Society. In November 2017, I was medically discharged from the Army. Afterward, I devoted my time to transition my autistic son to the Tennessee Virtual Academy. My desire is for a career path in Emergency Management field. I would like to gain the required experience in order to be a Certified Emergency Manager (CEM). Additionally, I have a keen interest in obtaining a Geographic Information System (GIS) certification to sharpen my skills as an emergency manager. Although I have an interest in many sections of the emergency management arena, I wish to focus my desire to work in the response/recovery area. I know my potential employment can take me virtually anywhere, I wish to stay within or a reasonable distance from the southeast. I believe, given the well-documented emergency and disaster response efforts, that there will be enough of a career market to find a suitable offering in this geographic area.
