“I have always wanted to pursue a career in EMS but the timing was just not right with a husband and 3 kids. So I waited until my kids were grown and decided it was my time. I wanted to make a difference in my community, by providing the best pre-hospital care,” she says.

“I am very proud of Rhonda’s accomplishments; she is truly a shining star. Rhonda is dedicated and compassionate to her patients and strives to stay well trained and educated, to provide the best patient care that she may give.
