This week on EM Student I am talking to Jason Ferguson, a servant-leader with over 17 years of experience across the Public Health, Emergency Management, Higher Education and Veteran Service sectors. In his career, he has fostered safe, healthy, and vibrant communities on university campuses; increased access to affordable medications and housing for under-resourced individuals living with HIV/AIDS; helped military veterans reintegrate into civilian life by training them for domestic and international disaster response missions; and assisted communities in the cycle of preparing for, responding to, recovering from, and mitigating against disasters of all types.

In our conversation, we talk about his experience working in the private and public sectors, both at his current position as the Deputy Director of Emergency Management at SnapNurse, and in his previous roles. He gave me an overview of what it is like to work at these various types of organizations and had some great advice for people entering the EM field.

I really enjoyed my conversation with Jason, and I am sure you will too. Here it is!
