Accomplishments

I am currently a instructor for the American Heart Association. I am also in the process of acquiring my certification to teach Qualified medication administration classes. I was on the front lines of the covid pandemic monitoring patients after they received their vaccines.

I am currently a CPR/BLS instructor for the American Heart Association.

I love teaching these life saving skills to people. I teach doctors, nurses, nursing students, parents, teachers, day care workers and who ever wants or needs this certificate. On a daily basis we never know what may come, and having these skills and being able to know what to do if we are ever in a situation where cpr is needed is very rewarding. There is no greater feeling than knowing we can save a life.

Additional Information

I am very passionate about people and the care they need. I'm always ready, wanting and willing to learn new skills. I'm a quick learner and am always excited for new opportunities.
