What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an EMT-Basic role where I can deliver safe pre-hospital patient care, document clearly, and work as part of a supportive team—while continuing to grow my skills through training, strong protocols, and real-world experience.

I’m an EMT-Basic committed to safe, professional pre-hospital care. After completing EMT-Basic certification, I’m currently serving with Acadian Ambulance as an EMT-Basic/Strike Team member—traveling across districts for deployment, completing station and ambulance duties, and properly documenting patient care reports while staying attentive to signs and symptoms within scope of practice.

I bring supporting experience from patient-adjacent and high-stakes environments, including phlebotomy work at CSL Plasma (vein evaluation, venipuncture, reaction monitoring, and documenting in a PDA) and direct support work guiding developmental disabled individuals toward personal goals and independence. I also strengthen my crisis response through Crisis Text Line counseling and ongoing community service through volunteering and hospital support.
