1.   What is your current role?

I serve as EMS 1^st lieutenant at Ringgold Volunteer Fire and Rescue.

2.   What was your inspiration for getting into healthcare?

I love helping people. I also wanted to follow in my grandpa’s footsteps. He was a paramedic.

3.   What is a typical day like for you working in this field?

Really depends on the day. It could be a slow day where I can get paperwork done, along with some studying. Other days are busy and I am on the truck running calls nonstop.

I have been at Ringgold for 8 years. I started as a candidate then moved to an EMT. Then I became a EMS 2^nd lieutenant and now I have been the EMS 1^st lieutenant for 2 years.

5.   What are some of you interests outside of work? What is your favorite local gem?

Well, when I am not at work, I spend time with my husband and family. We love going on random day trips.

6.   What do you enjoy most about your organization?

I enjoy the family feeling and how if one person is down the whole station tries to pick that person up. I love having the support system that is at Ringgold Volunteer Fire and Rescue.
