Summary

Experienced, compassionate and self motivated paramedic with 4.5 years of EMS experience between May 2016 to November 2020. 2.5 years as an EMT, 2 years as a paramedic. Approximately 3000 patients cared for while working between May 2016 to December 2020. Experience includes prehospital emergency response and Intensive care Unit transfers. In addition to traditional EMS experience, I have worked 2 Wildland fire seasons between 2024-25 as a single resource Fireline Medic. I have months of continuous experience, living and operating in the austere environments of Washington state, Idaho, Montana and Colorado. Wildland fire incidents have provided me with a solid working foundation of how to operate as a paramedic within a large incident command system.
