Passion for teaching is important to me and the integrity of EMS carries great weight. As an EMS educator and professional, I feel that the preservation of the career path to emergency medical services begins in the classroom. I began my EMS career as a child going with Richmond Ambulance Service to nursing homes for outings. To continue as a teenager and in to adulthood, EMS has always been part of how I was raised and who I have become. I wish too continue the tradition of EMS both on the streets and in the classroom.
