After completing the EMT Program at Tri-County Tech in 2019, I lost my leg to Osteomyelitis, brought on by Septicemia.

This left me physically handicapped, and unable to perform the duties of an EMT.

After my leg amputation surgeries, I underwent several months of physical therapy, learned how to walk again, and received my first prosthetic leg in 2021. With my prosthetic, I am now fully mobile, and can perform all physical requirements of this position.
