Summary

As a Nationally Registered Paramedic with an Associate of Science degree from Kirkwood Community College, I've spent over five incredible years in healthcare. I began my journey as a CNA and have worked my way up to becoming a paramedic. Throughout this time, I've had the chance to work in various emergency settings, which has helped me develop the ability to stay calm and focused, even in high-pressure situations. I believe in providing top-notch patient care, especially in emergency medical services. My approach is all about empathy and compassion, ensuring every patient feels physically and emotionally looked after. I'm always seeking ways to expand my skills and knowledge, keeping up with the latest medical practices and protocol advancements. What drives me is my passion for excellence. I love analyzing different situations and adapting my treatment plans for the best patient outcomes. Whether administering life-saving interventions or offering support to patients and their families during challenging times, I aim to leave a positive impact in every interaction. My commitment to my profession and the well-being of those I serve inspires me to strive to improve emergency medical care continuously.
