MEDIA CONTACT: Mark E. Brady, Chief Spokesperson, 240-508-7930
Several big events for members of our Fire/EMS Department have occurred recently including new additions to families and graduations. Fire Chief Eugene A. Jones extends his congratulations and best wishes to our members and their families.
Masters Degree for Kova Blake
Administrative Assistant Kova Blake recently graduated with a Master of Science Degree in Management with a concentration in Human Resource Management. She graduated from the University of Maryland University College. This degree should come in handy as Kova is currently working as the Administrative Assistant to the Administrative Services Command which oversees the Department’s Human Resources, Risk Management, Training Academy, Administrative Compliance and the call center. Kova has been with the Department for 2 years. When asked if she recommends degrees of higher learning for other members of the Department, Kova responded, “I believe that the knowledge and skills acquired through higher learning degrees can prove beneficial to anyone in any career.” She feels that a degree simply puts her in a position where she has the credentials to move forward in her career, if the opportunity presents itself.
