Hi, I'm April!
In the face of personal tragedy and the challenges of the COVID pandemic, a close friend invited me to join her as a CPR instructor. In that invitation, I discovered a transformative outlet—a way to alchemize the pain of losing my sister into something purposeful.
Teaching CPR isn't just a profession I stumbled upon; it's a deliberate choice born out of a deep desire to help the community. It's about making life-saving skills accessible to busy professionals and individuals from all walks of life.
My journey began with the profound loss of my little sister to an accidental heroin overdose when she was 27. This soul shifting experience, coupled with my background in Dialysis since 2008, ignited a commitment to providing a lifeline of security for others.
Understanding the importance of convenience and tailored learning, I specialize in mobile/on-site CPR instruction, bringing vital training directly to you, I also host classes on an as needed basis in Port Orchard, WA.
With a background in real-life CPR situations, every class becomes an opportunity to connect with individuals uniquely. But it goes beyond standard instruction. I offer curated CPR classes customized to suit each person's individual profession and needs.
Teaching CPR, for me, is a passionate endeavor and a meaningful compliment to my Dialysis career. It's about empowerment, preparedness, and creating a community where every person, regardless of their background, can be a potential hero.
Join me on this journey of empowerment. Let's build a community that stands ready to respond when it matters most.
