She initially obtained her EMT certification and began her career serving at Cromwell Fire Department and Middlesex Hospital while she earned her bachelor’s degree in Paramedicine from the University of New Haven. She has since gained extensive experience as a Paramedic, working with services such as AMR New Haven, Waterbury Area, and is currently full-time at the North Branford Fire Department.
