A Rising Star in EMS 🚑💫
Sophia began her career in biotech, but she wanted to work directly with patients and make a difference in her community.
While researching EMT programs, she applied for Westmed’s Rising Star EMT Scholarship and earned a full scholarship to Bay Area Training Academy. Today she’s on our team as an EMT, working toward her longer-term goal of becoming a Physician Assistant. 🩺
“Every interaction I’ve had with patients, medical staff, and members of our community has helped me grow as a person. I’m grateful to Westmed for the Rising Star EMT Scholarship and for giving me a stepping stone into EMS and healthcare.”
Congratulations, Sophia. We’re glad to be part of your journey. 💙
