Summary

I've been working as an EMT since August of 2023. Since that time, I've worked in medical transport for OnTime Ambulance as an EMT and driver while also working for my local volunteer rescue squad doing 911 in Saddle Brook NJ and surrounding townships since January of 2025. During my time in medical transport, I've gathered a lot of experience with patient care and management. I've become very familiar with all of the tools and techniques that come with patient care. Along side this, I've greatly developed compassion and professionalism through my experiences, which are a vital part of an EMT's character. From my time in 911 in my rescue squad, I've gained experience in patient care in emergency settings and how to work in high-stress situations.
