As part of our continued growth ASM and Aetna seek out only the best candidates.

I initially obtained my EMT certification in Spring 2007, and I acquired a job at Hartford Hospital and have worked there as a Patient Care Associate for the last three years. I earned my EMT certification again over the summer of 2011. Since then I have volunteered at Glastonbury Volunteer Ambulance. I am currently enrolled in classes at Capital Community College where I intend on working towards my degree in Paramedic Studies. After completing my paramedic degree I intend on continuing my education and receiving a degree in nursing. Ultimately I plan to become a flight nurse. I enjoy, riding my motorcycle, hiking, camping, playing paintball with friends, learning about US history, and leisurely reading.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Kyle Caldwell: \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>FULL TIME, EMT.

I am a huge Red Sox and Patriots fan and enjoy playing sports (baseball, basketball, and football) and going on hikes.\u00a0\u00a0 In my spare time I have also been learning to play guitar.\u00a0 In the near future I hope to get my paramedic certification and further my career from there.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Ashley Cichy: \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/strong>\u00a0FULL TIME, EMT.\u00a0I\u2019m 23 years old.\u00a0 I grew up in Montville, Connecticut and currently live in Vernon.\u00a0 I graduated from Eastern Connecticut State University in 2011 with my Bachelor\u2019s degree in Psychology.\u00a0 In March 2012, I enlisted in the National Guard and went to Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri where I completed my basic training.\u00a0 It was very challenging, but definitely a valuable and life changing experience.\u00a0 I start officer training through the military this month and plan to branch into the medical field once it\u2019s complete.\u00a0 I began my EMT course at the New Britain EMS Academy in September 2012. \u00a0I&#8217;ve\u00a0always had a passion for helping others and really enjoyed the class.\u00a0 I love learning and would like to pursue further education.\u00a0 In my free time, I like running, hiking, reading, listening to music, going to the beach and spending time with my family and friends.\u00a0 I am excited to begin working in this field and look forward to learning and growing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Rory Davenport: \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong>FULL TIME, EMT.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>I am 22 years old. I have lived in the town of Andover my whole life. I went to RHAM high school and got an Associates of Science from Manchester Community College. I am part of the Andover Volunteer Fire Department where I am a Firefighter and EMT. I have been an EMT for almost 2 years, I love EMS and am very excited to start my full time career with ASM. I took my EMT class at ASM through Manchester Community College in the summer of 2011. I hope to eventually continue on to become a Paramedic. I have spent a lot of time hopping from odd job to odd job over the last few years with a few stronger jobs in between, all the while hoping to get a long lasting job as an EMT and I&#8217;m ecstatic that it finally happened. I know that nobody is perfect, but I take pride in what I do and whether it&#8217;s in a fire, or in the back of an ambulance I do the best I can and I am constantly learning ways to improve myself. In my free time I exercise, I am an avid gamer, and a comic book geek.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANCHESTER&#8211; On April 3, 2013,\u00a0five full-time EMTs\u00a0were added to the ASM team.
