Paramedic
I’ve been in EMS for 16 years and I was an EMT for 3 years before becoming a paramedic 13 years ago. I work full-time for Nelson Ambulance and part-time for Hunters Ambulance.
I chose to become part of the peer support group because I’ve needed help from a group like this myself during my career. I had a very difficult call and talking with a peer support team helped me tremendously. I feel I can support my fellow co-workers and others who need the support of a peer group. I love what I do and I feel I can help more than just my patients.
Outside of work I love running and I participate in races of all lengths including marathons, I’ve found it is a great stress release.
