Summary
I have been with acadian ambulance 12 years as a EMT. I have been doing deployments off and on for the last 3-4 years and became full time strike team about a year and a half. I love being a basic. I enjoy my job. While working for Acadian I also worked as a er tech for Lafayette general. Before I became an EMT I worked as a CNA for about 15 plus years. Patient care is what I enjoy. Helping people when they need and being a patient advocate when need be.
