ProRanger Graduate Jonathan Moul

I am Jonathan Moul. ProRanger is a fantastic Ranger intake program that emphasizes not only the law enforcement side of the National Park Service, but also the fundamentals and origins of our policies and the purposes behind them. The two and half year program includes two summer internships in which the cadets are exposed to various divisions and duties associated with running a park and being a Ranger. This sort of approach builds character and well-rounded individuals who are shaped and molded to become successful career Rangers. The program also sets up parks to hire knowledgeable people who believe in and are committed to the mission of our agency.

My journey with the program began in the fall of 2011 while I was working as a STEP Interpretive Ranger at the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park.  Through the program I was enabled to expand my knowledge of the NPS as well as hone my own skills in areas such as research, Operational Leadership, and most importantly communication.  The lessons I learned in the program have assisted me in the beginning of my career and my ability to quickly jump in to the routine of my new park.

As a ProRanger cadet I had the opportunity to work at Grand Teton National Park as a Generalist Park Ranger in 2012 and as a commissioned LE Ranger at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in 2013.  Over the summers I made connections and friendships with Rangers and other employees who were able to guide and mentor me as I continued to grow in my capacity as a sharp young Park Service employee. 

 

 

Jonathan did his first summer internship at Grand Teton National Park. He was able to work in all branches of that parks operations. He was a great asset to the park. He made strong connections to coworkers and did great work fo the resource.

ProRanger Gradaute Rosileen Ferioli

I am Rosileen Ferioli and my journey towards becoming a United States Park Ranger began with the ProRanger Program in 2011. These past few years in the program have been very beneficial for my career.  Throughout the program I was mentored by many Park Rangers across the United States each with their own distinct background and experience. Not only did they provide me with great insight and advice into law enforcement and the agency as a whole, but they also connected us to an extensive network of people across the United States. The ProRanger Program has guided me in entering the community of park rangers which isn’t just a job title but a lifestyle. 

My experience in the ProRanger Program has provided me with valuable information on the history and mission of the National Park Service. It has also instilled in me, as well as other ProRanger Cadets, a passion and dedication to National Parks that makes working for this agency much more meaningful.

Rosileen did her first internship at San Juan National Historical Park. She worked in interpretation and spent a very good amount of time working in protection. Rosi speaks Spanish fluently and works very well with people. SAJU greatly benefitted from from Rosi's contribution to park operations.

 

 

 

Rosi's second summer internship was at Yellowstone National Park. While at YELL Rosi participated in structural fire trainining, wildland fire training, search and rescue, EMS, law enforcement, interpretation and resource management. She learned a lot and contributed a lot to the successful achievement of the NPS Mission.
