Aims has always promoted a safe learning environment, which is what drove me to continue my education here. After earning an EMT Certificate at Aims in 2009, I returned after working in the field to earn my A.A.S. degree in Paramedicine in 2022. I am currently enrolled in the Public Safety Bachelor’s Degree program because I want to further my education to advance my career in EMS.
