"To Promote Health Through Education"

As an EMT, I’ve gained a unique, hands-on perspective of healthcare and witnessed firsthand how many emergencies are preventable with proper knowledge and preparation. From the mismanagement of strokes by family members, to the gross injuries caused by unnecessary CPR, our public is in desperate need of education and reform. 

Witnessing these failures has motivated me to pursue a career in education, with the goal of straightening my communities health and ensuring the wellbeing of those around me. Beginning with Basic Life Support, I hope to share the knowledge I've learned throughout the years to empower those around me with their own ability to make a difference in someones health. 

As a fellow student, I aim to make my BLS courses as affordable and accessible as possible. That’s why I offer them at just $60 per class—compared to the standard $120 when registering directly through the AHA. Despite this, I also recognize that many individuals face financial circumstances beyond their control. If cost is a barrier for you, please don’t hesitate to reach out, as I’m more than willing to work with you to find a solution to ensure your success. My contact information is listed below.
