Experienced emergency management specialist with a decade in public safety.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated emergency management specialist with over a decade of experience in emergency medical services (EMS) and public safety. My journey began as a Communications Specialist, where I honed my skills in dispatching EMS resources and ensuring situational awareness during critical incidents. This role laid the foundation for my subsequent positions as a Paramedic and Firefighter, where I provided advanced life support and led teams during multi-casualty events.
Throughout my career, I have collaborated with regional emergency managers to enhance preparedness and response capabilities. My commitment to regulatory compliance and training has been instrumental in maintaining operational efficiency and ensuring the safety of both my team and the communities we serve. I am currently pursuing a Master of Public Safety Leadership to further deepen my expertise and contribute to national emergency preparedness efforts.
