Summary
I have been working with the public and around veterinary medicine for several years, and have had an unwavering passion for emergency medicine. During my ride time at Good Fellowship, and responding to several emergency situations outside of EMS training, that passion grew exponentially. I'm eager to gain experience and advance in my career as a first responder.
