Marulanda: <\/strong>PART TIME, EMT. Hello everyone! My name is Luisa Marulanda and I am 24 years old. I&#8217;ve been a BLS instructor and EMS administrator for two years at CPR Training Professionals where I also received my EMT certification. I realized a few years ago that my calling involved a career that allows me to help others. This led me to become an EMT and begin my journey as a first responder. My ultimate goal is to become a Paramedic. I plan to accomplish this in the near future and after gaining experience as an EMT for Aetna.\u00a0Thank you for the opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.asm-aetna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-8326\" src=\"http:\/\/www.asm-aetna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asm-aetna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.asm-aetna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kristen Wall: <\/strong>PART TIME, EMT.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Hi!

Ultimately, I am hoping to be a PA specializing in emergency medicine. In my free time, I like to work out and travel.
