As part of our continued growth Aetna and ASM seek out only the best candidates. We look for employees who are focused on high-quality patient care, are team oriented and conduct themselves in a professional manner. During the orientation, employees learn about company philosophy and goals, quality assurance, and policies and procedures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>David Jackson:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0My name is David Jackson and I am 22 years old. I graduated from the Boston University with a Bachelor of Science in Human Physiology in 2014. My goal is to go to medical school and to go into the field of emergency medicine. I took my EMT-Basic class in Bridgeport, CT in 2008 at the Bridgeport Hospital Emergency Medicine Institute. I started working in EMS at Westport Volunteer Emergency Medical Services, however, when I moved to Boston, MA for college I began working for Boston University Emergency Medical Services. In my spare time I enjoy scuba diving and boating on the Long Island Sound and I am very excited to start to work towards my Dive Master certification this summer. I truly love emergency medicine in all its forms and I am very excited to be one of the newest additions to this amazing team and to have the opportunity to work in your community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Eric Marandino:<\/strong>\u00a0 My name is Eric Marandino. After being self-employed for the past 15 years (in the dental industry)\u00a0I was looking for a career change. I know many people who are, or were EMTS and they all said how much they enjoyed the job. I graduated EMT last summer through Hartford Hospital. I feel very fortunate to have been hired by Aetna Ambulance and look forward to starting my new career.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I have trained in martial arts for 30 years. After extensive training in Tae Kwon Do, Hap Ki Do, Boxing, American Kickboxing and Jeet Kune Do, I began training Brazilian Jiujitsu 10 years ago. I have been fortunate to be able to teach, train and compete a lot in the past five years.\u00a0I will continue to train jiujitsu for the rest of my life. Some of my other interests include mountain biking, hiking, cooking, movies and\u00a0working on my house. I am an avid reader and I try to always be reading a good book.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Andrew O&#8217;Laughlin:<\/strong>\u00a0 My name is Andrew O\u2019Loughlin. I am 21 years old, and I am from Hebron Connecticut. I am a senior at UMASS Amherst, where I will be graduating with a Bachelor\u2019s of Science in Kinesiology this December. I work UMASS EMS while at school, and I am a volunteer EMT with the Fire Department in my hometown. I have a passion for patient care, and I look forward to working with the team at Aetna.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In my spare time I\u2019m fairly active. I spend a lot of time weightlifting, running, hiking etc. You will see me at a lot of events like the Spartan Races and Tough Mudders. I have also done a few events with GORUCK. They focus on team building, for long hours (24+ for my most recent), under heavy weights. I also recently became a certified scuba diver, and plan on diving the local area this summer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the future I plan on continuing my education. My plan is to return to UMASS after graduation to complete a second bachelor\u2019s in Nursing. I\u2019m excited to expand my role in the healthcare field, but EMS will always by my passion. I intend on staying active within the field after I begin my career as a nurse.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tony Mazzola:<\/strong>\u00a0 My name is Anthony Mazzola, but you can call me Tony.\u00a0 I am 21 years old.\u00a0 I received my EMT last summer and have been working for Newington Volunteer Ambulance for the past six months.\u00a0 Even though I am relatively new to this field, I have developed a passion for it and I feel as though I have a lot to gain from it.\u00a0 \u00a0I have just recently graduated from Manchester Community College with an Associate\u2019s Degree in Criminal Justice. I am going to be continuing my college career and pursue a Bachelor\u2019s Degree at Central Connecticut State University (CCSU).\u00a0 I love working on cars, particularly, Volkswagens. Yes, I am a Volkswagen guy!\u00a0 I am very excited to be a part of the Aetna team and I look forward to meeting everyone!<\/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>HARTFORD \u2014 On May 29,\u00a02014,\u00a0four EMTs\u00a0were added to the Aetna team.
