Camille is Paula's sister and keeps the office working like a well oiled machine. She's been an instructor with us for over 10 years, and when not answering calls, emails and getting programs organized, she'll teach a few programs as well. So when you email or call, remember to be nice to Camille, since she also logs everyone into the data base and has the power to "pass" or "fail" participants. Lol.

Derrick is not only an instructor with us, but also started as a first aid student of ours at the age of 15 years old. Because he enjoyed learning how to save a life so much, he became a paramedic in 2015 and then began teaching with us. We're so happy to have helped him achieve his goals to work in Emergency Medicine and teach people these life saving skills.
