Dedicated Ocean Rescue EMT committed to safeguarding the public in challenging and dynamic coastal environments. I continuously strive to enhance safety and operational efficiency by working closely with supervisors and team members. Prioritizing patrons and patients, I focus on delivering prompt, high quality care, accurately monitoring and recording vitals, and ensuring smooth transitions to ALS and Fire Rescue.
My goal is to provide effective rescues in and out of the water in a timely matter with great communication to my colleagues while doing so and give the patient care that supports rapid and safe transport for Advanced Life Support. While providing this care I will also use Ocean Rescue Protocol for not only my safety and my colleagues safety in mind for all parties involved in any incident we are responding to.
