I am a purpose-driven and compassionate individual transitioning from hospitality to healthcare, I am fueled by a lifelong desire to help others in ways I didn’t always receive growing up. I am currently pursuing a degree in Fire Science and Paramedic at Waubonsee Community College, with an EMT-B certification completion set for August 8 and I plan to enter the paramedic program immediately after. My mission is to wake up every day with purpose — to be there for people on their hardest days, to respond when it matters most, and to serve my community with empathy, strength, and skill. I’ve completed clinical hours at Rush Copley ER and hold certifications including CPR/AED (AHA), PERC, FCC, concealed carry, and firearm training. I'm also an inducted member of the National Society of Leadership and Success through Waubonsee Community College. With years of bartending, serving, and bar backing under my belt, I bring a calm under pressure, quick thinking, and a strong work ethic that now fuel my transition into emergency medicine. I’m ready to learn, to grow, and to make a real difference in the lives of others — because that’s what I’ve always needed, and now it’s who I strive to be.
