Clayton, North Carolina, United States
I began my public safety journey at 15 as a volunteer firefighter with a rural department, where I developed a strong foundation in emergency response, teamwork, and resilience. While I gained valuable experience in firefighting, I discovered my true passion was in emergency medical care. At 18, I transitioned fully into EMS, completed my EMT training, and have been dedicated to serving my community as an EMT-B ever since. With hands-on experience in both fire and medical response, I bring a calm, focused approach to high-pressure situations and a deep commitment to helping people in their most critical moments. I’m always looking to grow in the EMS field, strengthen my skills, and make a meaningful impact through compassionate, professional care.
Provide emergency medical care and transport for patients in both 911 and inter-facility settings. assess patient conditions, deliver basic life support, and work closely with paramedics, nurses, and dispatch to ensure safe and efficient care. Every shift, focus on staying calm under pressure and delivering compassionate, professional service to those in need.
Took a step back from firefighting to focus on EMS education and training while transitioning into a career in emergency medical services.

Participated in ongoing firefighter education and training while preparing for a full-time operational role. Attended regular department drills, hands-on training sessions, and classroom instruction to strengthen skills in fire behavior, SCBA use, ladder operations, and scene safety. Supported department operations as needed and remained actively engaged in learning and development during this transitional period.
