How did you come to be in EMS?

My grandfather passed away from cancer when I was 12 and I wanted to find a way to help people. EMS was the first way I found to help at a young age.

What do you love about working in EMS?

Every day is different. No matter what happens I know that I’ve affected someone’s life for the better when the shift is over.

Do you have any advice for someone considering becoming an EMT or Paramedic?

There is no other feeling in this world like helping other people. If you come in and do your best every day is rewarding.

Anything else you’d like to say?

There is a place for everyone in EMS. Follow your passions and you will find the career rewarding.
