Just like so many others, I was not familiar with what E5 really was or what they do. I had a sit down with Doug over an EMT’s favorite meal, coffee, to discuss any questions or concerns I had before I made the switch from a stationary office with 4 walls (where I wasn’t truly happy) to an office on wheels where I have become very happy! I get to help people and their families in what is probably their most vulnerable time. Even if it’s as simple as holding their hand and talking, or actually treating a life threatening emergency, this is what I was meant to do, and E5 helps me do that with variety of locations, great co-workers, and many education opportunities!
Since I have been employed at E5, I have become the Personnel Coordinator. I get to meet our potential employees and give them an insight to the team they will be joining and help them learn about our company. In this process, I also get to travel to the different stations we help and meet the current employees that make us what we are.
Being part of the administrative team helps me learn how to be a better employee and leader. I love the team I work with and am very happy I made the change!
