I began my career with LifeNet in 2024. I was born in Stephens and raised in Magnolia, where my commitment to serving my community first began. After graduating from Magnolia High School in 2019, I began pursuing my degree in Emergency Medical Services Administration at Columbia Southern University, where I am currently a senior. My education and hands-on experience have prepared me to grow as a leader while continuing to serve the communities I care about most.
Before entering EMS, I worked as a banker, but I felt called to serve in a more direct, hands-on capacity. My interest in emergency care was first sparked in high school while serving as a student athletic trainer in sports medicine. Inspired by my instructor, John Caston, and his dedication to helping others, I realized EMS was the path I wanted to pursue. The fast-paced, high-impact nature of the profession—combined with the opportunity to make a difference when people need it most—confirmed I had found my calling.
At LifeNet, I am especially excited about shaping the future of EMS recruitment. For me, it’s not just about filling positions; it’s about finding the right people who are deeply committed to serving their communities. I am focused on strengthening retention efforts, supporting professional development, and building a culture where our crews feel valued and supported. My vision for LifeNet’s PR and recruiting efforts centers on creating a more inclusive, engaging, and people-focused environment while positioning our organization as an employer of choice.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, exploring the outdoors, continuing my studies, and volunteering at community events. Giving back to the communities I call home remains at the heart of both my personal life and professional mission.
