I am a CPR survivor.
My life was saved not by a doctor or a paramedic—but by my uncle.
A man whose hands were shaking, whose knees were weak, and whose heart was racing with fear.
He found me unresponsive. And in that moment, everything stopped—except him.
He wasn’t a medical professional. He was scared. But his love for me… was louder than his fear.
He called 911.
He dropped to the ground.
And with trembling hands and everything he had—he began CPR.
Because of his courage, I am alive.
Because he didn’t hesitate, I get to breathe, speak, laugh, and live.
Now, I carry that same fire in my chest.
I respond. I teach. I fight for life—because someone once fought for mine.
You never know who you’re saving. But what you do in those few critical moments might be the reason someone goes on to change the world for someone else, and save another life. It's a chain, forever linked with effort, fear, courage and change.
This is what CPR does.
It turns fear into hope.
Bystanders into heroes.
Moments into miracles.
I believe that nothing fruitful blooms from stagnant waters, and I refuse to be stagnant or bare. Rooted in service and driven by an uncompromising pursuit of excellence, I am committed to creating a lasting impact. I'm a proud member of Smith County Emergency Response team and The American Red Cross. Through steadfast dedication to education and the cultivation of application-based knowledge, I strive to be a source of strength and clarity for others in times of uncertainty and fear. I discovered my passion for helping others by walking through my own darkest days.
Today, I stand as a light of service, of dedication, and of truth:
No one is incapable of saving a life. You don’t need a title or a uniform. You just need the courage to act.
Because CPR isn’t just a skill.
It’s a chance.
A moment.
A choice that can change everything.
I am living proof that your actions matter.
And someone out there may still be breathing… because you decided not to freeze.
