‼️ Last-Minute CPR Class – Few Spots Left! ‼️

I’m running a small, hands-on Adult & Pediatric CPR/AED class (no First Aid) on Thursday, April 16 (9:00–12:45) and have just a couple openings left.

✔️ Fully instructor-led
✔️ American Red Cross certification
✔️ Focused CPR/AED skills (no First Aid)

If you’ve been thinking about getting certified (or need to renew), this is a great opportunity to jump in without a big class.

🌷🐣 Happy Easter from You Can Be Prepared, First Aid & CPR Training! 🐣🌷

Spring is all about new beginnings—and this year, I have an exciting new beginning to share!

✨ I’ve officially opened a new office location, giving me a dedicated space to train, grow, and better serve our community.

✨ More classes, more flexibility, and more opportunities for YOU to get trained and confident in life-saving skills.

Just like Easter reminds us of renewal and fresh starts, there’s no better time to learn something that could truly make a difference—because you never know when an emergency might happen, but You Can Be Prepared.

Whether you’re a healthcare provider, a parent, an EMT student, or just someone who wants to be ready to help… I’m here for you.

🐰 Check out upcoming classes and come see the new space!

Adventures in teaching… while most are sleeping, I got up early Sunday morning to head to a class. Even though I didn’t get to sleep in, I was rewarded with a beautiful sunrise. The photos don’t even remotely do it justice.

Speaking of teaching, do you know I can teach just about anywhere? Just need a power outlet to plug my projector and laptop in. Sunday, I taught in a large garage.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Three Years of Growth and Impact

In 2023, I took a leap of faith and turned a volunteer opportunity into something much bigger than I ever imagined. What started as a simple “why not?” has grown into a journey I am incredibly proud of.

In 2023, I taught 67 students and laid the foundation for You Can Be Prepared.

In 2024, my first full year in business, I taught 525 students, expanding my reach and refining my mission to provide high-quality lifesaving education.

In 2025, I continued to grow both professionally and personally. I completed an EMT program and proudly earned my National Registry EMT (NREMT) certification as well as my State of Connecticut EMT certification. I taught 702 students this year alone.

Beyond the classroom, I have been actively involved as a First Responder on an ambulance and as an Event EMT, saving lives in both the classroom and the community. Real-world emergency response has strengthened my skills and made me an even better instructor.

In 2025, I also joined the Hamden Regional Chamber of Commerce, strengthening my connection to the local business community and expanding opportunities to bring lifesaving training to more workplaces and organizations.

Over the past three years, I have had the privilege of teaching a total of 1,294 students — 1,294 people now better prepared to respond in an emergency.

I would especially like to thank Ken, and my kids, Travis and Ida, for their unwavering support, encouragement, and understanding as I continue to grow both personally and professionally.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me, trusted me with their training, referred a friend, or encouraged me along the way. I am incredibly grateful for this journey and excited for what’s ahead.

Here’s to 2026 to continuing to grow, learn, and prepare more lifesavers — because You Can Be Prepared. ❤️
