About Tess

Hi! My name is Tess, and I am a senior Paramedicine student at the University of New Haven, who is also completing Pre-Nursing coursework at Southern CT State University. I formerly worked 911 services in New Haven County, which is a high-volume, urban system filled with a variety of people with an assortment of needs. I aspire to be an Intensive Care Unit nurse. I am extremely timely, caring, and organized, and am hoping my role as a caregiver will give me a greater chance to connect with people and learn their stories. I am a CT state/nationally certified emergency medical technician, and hold both Basic Life Support/Advanced Life Support certifications.
