I’m a certified Red Cross First Aid/CPR/AED Instructor with a focus on both adult and pediatric training. I offer CPR and First Aid classes for individuals, workplaces, and groups—whether it’s your first time or you’re seeking recertification. But beyond certifications and skills, this work is deeply personal to me.

In 2019, my husband Keith went into sudden cardiac arrest at just 35 years old. We were at a friend’s house when it happened—terrifying, surreal, and completely life-altering. I performed CPR alongside two of our friends until first responders arrived. Because of our quick action, Keith survived. That experience not only saved his life but changed the trajectory of ours.

We struggled in the aftermath—grappling with trauma, fear, and the weight of nearly losing him. But out of that hardship grew a deep passion: to ensure more people are prepared to step in during those crucial, life-or-death moments. With 70-80% of cardiac arrests happening outside of hospitals—and the majority of them ending in death—bystander CPR can mean the difference between life and loss.

My mission is simple: to empower others with the skills that saved my husband's life. You never think it will happen to someone you love—until it does.
