I am bilingual, have over 20 year’s hands on experience in patient assessment skills and emergency care. I am skilled in multi-tasking various projects. Always willing to learn and I love a challenge. I managed a non-budgeted fire prevention education program and made it a successful template for any department to follow. I am knowledgeable with spreadsheets, excel, and basic accounting.

I enjoy working with the public and I am a team player. I believe in self-improvement and I am currently enrolled in The College Network, taking courses that would support a Paramedic to nursing program.
