PULSE Magazine | May 2019 Issue

What do you do on your days to relax and unwind? On my days off, you can usually find me at the shooting range, out with friends either around water or just around town, or sleeping to recover from my last shift. I usually work nights so I picked up playing video games a little but shhhhh don’t tell anyone.

Who inspires you? I’d definitely say my grandfather inspires me greatly.

What is the next place you would like to visit? Why? My next vacation will either be somewhere in Africa, because I am always looking for an inter- esting/different excursion or experience. I’ve also heard that backpacking across Jamaica is loads of fun . Word of advice for an aspiring medic? Slow down and take it one step at a time. Be excited, take your course and use the energy and excitement to land the job of your dreams. Find a good organization or department to work for, an entity that will invest in you, take time to train you, challenge you and that suits all of your needs. From there, work your way up to AEMT or Para- medic and promote. It’s super exciting to start your EMT classes, even more exciting to graduate, hold onto that energy, and eventually become employed where you want to be. Working at the place you’ve wanted to be is absolutely thrilling.
