My name is Tiffany and I\u2019m 23 years old.\u00a0 I was born in Caracas, Venezuela and moved here when I was ten.\u00a0 I graduated from UCONN in May with a B.S. in Allied Health and a minor in Biology.\u00a0 I currently work per diem at the UCONN Student Health Services Laboratory and I\u2019m trained in phlebotomy.\u00a0 I love working in the medical field and am super excited to be involved in emergency care.\u00a0 In my spare time I like to cook, practice yoga, and anything involving being outdoors.\u00a0 I\u2019m also trying to teach myself Portuguese and after that, hopefully another language.\u00a0 I love traveling and learning about different cultures and hope to one day be able to volunteer around the US as well as the rest of the world as a doctor to help communities in need.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Cheryl Everest:<\/strong> \u00a0 \u00a0FULL TIME, EMT. My name is Cheryl Everest I am 23 years old and currently live in Simsbury. I take great pride in helping people everyday in our community. I took my \u00a0EMT course three years ago and almost instantly fell in love with EMS. I recently graduated from Tunxis Community College with my associates. In my spare time I like to hike with my dog and spend time with my horses. I also volunteer with Simsbury Ambulance. I could not be more pleased to be able to turn my EMS\u00a0passion into a career with ASM. I plan to further my career in emergency medical a services and become a paramedic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Patrick Gleason:<\/strong> \u00a0 \u00a0FULL TIME, EMT. My name is Patrick Gleason, I am 43 years old and l live in Manchester, CT. At age 18 I joined the Army and served four years active duty with the 25th Infantry Division.\u00a0 I assumed the duties of squad leader and particularly enjoyed the time I spent at Combat Life Saver School.\u00a0 I went on to work as a Regional Director and Project Manager in the business world but always yearned to acquire an occupation in the medical field.\u00a0 In 2014 I completed an EMT course at Code One in East Hartford and obtained my license. I love to learn new things and am looking forward to a more meaningful career by making a difference in the lives of those I serve as an EMT.\u00a0 The experience I will gain in the field as an EMT will help to prepare me for my ultimate goal of becoming a Paramedic. I spend my free time with my wife and two kids, attend and volunteer at our church and am assistant coach for basketball at the kids school.\u00a0 I am excited and grateful for this new opportunity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Jonathan Sanchez: \u00a0<\/strong> \u00a0 FULL TIME, EMT.\u00a0My name is Jonathan Sanchez and I am 22 years old and from New Britain, CT. I graduated from Tunxis Community College with an Associate\u2019s Degree in Criminal Justice. My career goal is to become a police officer and to do the best I can to support the communities and the laws in place. In 2012 I got my first job at St. Francis Hospital &amp; Medical Center as a transportation tech. With this job I became exposed to the hospital environment and was intrigued by the hospital environment and how much health care providers make a difference in the people they help. That\u2019s when I decided to become an EMT. I obtained my certification last year and since July I have had the pleasure to work in the Emergency Room as an ER Technician which is basically an EMT within the ER. I have seen many different types of patients, from basic toe pain to cardiac arrests. I have done all types of different jobs and procedures within the ER and I love the fact that I get to actually help people out when they are in need and potentially help save a life. I look forward to working with the ASM crew and learning new things and incorporate what I already know on the road. I look forward to the future with the ambulance service and hope to take what I have learned and incorporate that in my career later on in life!<\/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 \u2014 On February 4, 2015 five\u00a0EMTs were added to the ASM team.\u00a0As part of our continued growth ASM and Aetna seek out only the best candidates.
