About Me:: I have been an EMT for 4 yrs I started out at Garza CO EMS in Post TX. I later moved to Morton TX and am now at Cochran CO EMS. I love where i work and the people I work with I dont know what id do without them. I am a stay at home mommy by day, I have two children a girl Mia who is 4 and a boy Jadyn who is 2 they keep me preety busy and are the loves of my life.

Why I Joined Fire/EMS: There is no other job that id rather be doing. I love my job and every aspect of it.

Why I Love Fire/EMS: I love being able to help people.......I know that is so cliche but its true lol. Feeling that in some cases you are the last hope of some people and are being able to make a difference in someones life is a wonderful feeling.

Top Issues Facing Responders:: I would definatly have to say SCRUTINY!!!!!! Especially at a volunteer Dept. we do this job because we love it God knows even at a paid service the pay is far less than we deserve but yet noone understands that we give our heart and soul on every single call and its still never enough.

My parents lived in Jersey and I coldnt afford it anymore, so I moved to Jersey. I was raised in the city my whole life. No offense, but I couldn't live in a rural area. I always have to be doing something.

I do love Texas though. Besides the heat, even though is a dry heat, but texas is awesome. There is so much freedom. Up here during the summer, its really humid and the humidity makes everything so misereable.

Stay safe down there and take care of the people that need Medical Attention. Thanks for your help in making a difference by helping people.

The important thing in our work does not need language to communicate, or borders to help.
Greetings from Mexico.
you’re new friend Filiberto.
