What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values teamwork and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated and skilled paramedic with a Bachelor of Science in Emergency Medicine and ongoing education in Homeopathy and Naturopathy. My career spans over a decade, during which I have honed my skills in emergency medical services, patient care, and team leadership. I have a proven track record of responding to emergencies, providing critical care, and managing healthcare operations in various challenging environments.

Throughout my career, I have taken on roles that required not only clinical expertise but also strong leadership and organizational skills. As a Lead Paramedic with International SOS, I successfully managed a team, ensuring high-quality care for diverse populations, including refugees. My experience includes working in urgent care settings, disaster response, and specialized medical environments, where I have consistently demonstrated my ability to adapt and excel under pressure.

I am passionate about continuous learning and professional development, as evidenced by my certifications and ongoing education. I am committed to providing exceptional patient care and contributing positively to the healthcare community.
