Tell me about yourself in your own words. Wow that's tough. I think I am a positive person, determined, and not afraid to try something new. I love helping people. I need to be more assertive and I try to avoid hard situations. I have a husband who is also a fire fighter but at a different station. I have a son who works for a truck company and my daughter works at Mount Carmal. We have a dog and a pig and love to have fun. We try to be as nice as possible and do as much as we can. I love my job and my family.
What 3 words best describe yourself? -Caring -Committed -Dependable Favorite part of your job? I love all the chaos and excitement. I am one who loves to help people all the time. I know this is a basic response but helping people is what I have always loved doing.
What made you want to become a paramedic? I have always wanted to go in the medical field. I was offered by EMS and I think that's what really made me lean towards it. Once I started riding on the fire truck I fell in love and knew that's what I wanted to do.
What is one of the most difficult situations that you have ever experienced? At points there can be a lot of difficult situations but I think it is really hard not really knowing what you are going for. You also don't know what kind of people you come upon, someone could be a psycho with a knife or gun. We take training every year to always prepare us. If the situation has children involved in it, that can be really hard so they have available therapy classes that anyone who may have troubles can attend.
