I was born in Knoxville, TN and have lived in Georgia since 1984. In 1997 I married my loving husband Nick and now we have 2 adorable children, with 2 rambunctious dogs, and 3 very independent cats along with a fish and a guinea pig. I graduated from the dental assisting program at Medix in 1999 where I was valedictorian of my class. At that time I received my first CPR certification through the American Heart Association. In 2003 I began teaching First Aid, CPR and AED skills through the American Heart Association and started Advanced CPR Training, LLC in 2004. Earlier this year she created my own CPR and First Aid training program that follows the ECC / ILCOR and American Heart Associations guidelines. I love providing the confidence in everyone who learns the skills they need to help save lives through First Aid and CPR and believe that everyone can benefit from learning to help save lives. We are helping to save lives one class at a time.
