I started my EMS career in 1986 when I was a college student in Northern Vermont. After becoming an EMT, I realized that this was the job for me. I became a paramedic in 1990. I worked for the private ambulance service until I became a Firefighter/Paramedic for the City Of Easthampton in 1995. Every day is different, which makes my job exciting, and makes me look forward to coming to work every day.
