Summary

With over 5 years’ experience as BLS provider in a busy 911 system with a company average over 300,000-500,000 calls a year, Paramedic as of November 2015 with experience in transfers and busy 911 systems such as Chelsea, Somerville, Lynn, Peabody, Quincy, Brockton, Nashua NH. I have had multiple code saves, vent transfers, worst of the worst respiratory distress patients. I always act to be better than I was last call. I love the busy aspect of the field and everything with it.

My goal is to become a critical care paramedic, those are the patients I love to take care of the most, the sick of the sick who need constant attention and ever changing care.

Lately I've noticed a trend of me taking over the leadership on my calls whether I am the most senior person or not. I like to see the whole plan lay out in my head and make sure everything has a place and that there is a place for everything.
