Summary

Grew up in a lower-class household in the Metro-Boston area. A self-driven first-generation college graduate. Completed this feat by financing college education by focusing on the end goals of improving public health services by working 2-3 emergency medical service jobs. Raising a child in a separated household, a co-parenting role, that restricts employment opportunities to a specific geographic area, (Southern New Hampshire and North of Boston, Central Massachusetts). Currently entering 24 years, actively practicing in the medical profession as a paramedic. Also, celebrating 22 years at (current employer), Cataldo Ambulance Service.
