About Me:
Began my emergency services career at Plain View EMS and Clement Fire Department in August of 2004. I am still with Clement Fire Department but not Plain View. Am currently on Clement Rescue and EMS as well
At first, I saw it as a gateway to the medical world being that I would be studying Medicine at a university and wanted to see if this was really what I wanted to do.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
The satisfaction of another job well done.
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Adequate distribution of funding for appropriate equipment. Drop in people who are interested in volunteering Unequal pay when comparing to other healthcare professionals.
