Hi! I’m Alex, founder and lead instructor at Emergency Resilience. I began my EMS career in 2003, and I’ve served as an EMT, paramedic, cardiac tech, EMS Coordinator, and EMS Educator.
After nearly 15 years in the field, I returned to school to earn my Master’s Degree in Death, Grief, and Bereavement. I went on to complete my Ph.D. in Depth Psychology, deepening my understanding of the complex psychological and emotional demands of our jobs as first responders. Specifically, how we can maintain our own mental health to become a strong, positive resource for patients, grieving loved ones, and our “work families”, who are facing the same challenges and hard decisions as we are daily.
My dream is to create space in the CE industry for instructors like myself to offer courses that don’t fit into the typical “core training” box. Because career growth and fulfillment as a first responder is about much more than CPR re-certs and NREMT refresher courses!
In the future, I intend to coach other educators to become CE providers, because I’d love to see more exciting, engaging content offered to first responders.
