Summary

Hi! I am a 23 year old EMT currently residing in Philadelphia. I currently work at Montgomery County's busiest EMS system Narberth Ambulance and enjoy nothing more but to stay busy and provide care to those in need. I have been an EMT for almost 5 years now and pride myself in the hard work I've committed for the field that I work in. I was born in Miami, Florida where I lived for 21 years. I have been interested in emergency medical care for as long as I can remember and have had the honor of working in unique environments for the beginning of my career. Working in this field has taught me to master the art of working under pressure, the power of teamwork, and making sure the job is done even in unfavorable conditions. Making the community I serve happy is all I wish for at the beginning of every shift and I always aim to provide excellent care to everybody I encounter every shift. I love to teach and I have a desire to learn. I am currently working toward getting my Paramedic certification to further expand my knowledge and scope of practice in EMS.
