John Farmer
Imboden,AR
Summary
I am 24 years old and I have dedicated my entire adult life to public service as a Paramedic. I enjoy being a Paramedic in my local area, as I feel it gives me a great chance to help the people I care about the most. I am rooted in NEA. I was raised here, as were both of my parents. I have lived here all of my life and I started my own family here. When I applied for EMT school in 2019, just weeks after graduating high school, I did so with the goal of being a flight paramedic within 5 years. I feel that my time on the ground ambulance has adequately prepared me to start my career in HEMS. I have excellent communication skills, and I truly enjoy every aspect of patient care I am able to provide. I have spoken to several peers that have worked at multiple different flight agencies and I have always felt that Survival Flight is where I would fit best.
