**** ******* ***, ****** *****, Texas 78372 H: 361-***-**** *******@***.***

Summary

Qualified State of Texas Licensed Paramedic with over 25 years of experience. I have solid

reputation for superior performance, accuracy and decision making ability. Presently, I work

as the EMS Supervisor for the Corpus Christi Fire Department, we have three shifts and I

oversee and manage 36 40 paramedic firefighters on my shift as they staff from 9 10 Medic

units that run approximately 100 120 call per shift and the department ran over 27,00 EMS

related calls in 2012. My role is to evaluate all EMS reports via Q/A and Q/I, respond to calls

and monitor how crews are incorporating the critical thinking needed on calls. I provide any

training for recent upgrades in equipment (12 lead transmission, capnography, Epcr software

etc.) and I act as a Liaison between the crews, citizens and hospital staff and hospital

administration addressing any concerns and compliments. I also perform the function of EMS

Operations and Sheltering within our ICS organization and I carry the All Hazards Incident

Management Team position as well as a G449 Intermediate (300) and Advanced (400)

Incident Instructor. The next chapter in my EMS experience has begun with my recent hire

into the Acadian Ambulance fold and my hope is to transition into a position in the company

where I can exert all my knowledge and expertise in promoting the Acadian culture.
