I’ve been in ems for 14 years and I was an EMT for 3 years before becoming a paramedic 11 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.
