I have been an EMT since 1997. I was a certified CNA in 1995 and First Responder. I did an advanced First Responder in 1996-97 along with some student teaching. I was on a busy Illinois volunteer department 96-2005. I later worked in an Emergency Room as an EMT for 15 years, as well as working on a volunteer department and a first responder unit all in Wisconsin. I now also work part-time as an assistant EMT instructor for a local college. I have always loved EMS and hope that I can help new students of all ages make progress through their EMS education!
