Summary
Over the years, I have achieved many different things that have shaped me into who I am today. Alongside my work experience I was also a volunteer firefighter at Manly fire station for 5 years. This role exposed me to many different things in both fire and medical areas. From there my intrest in medical really bloomed and I started my diploma in paramedic science where I have one online paper remaining which I am hoping to complete over the next year.
