Arnica Grace Painting Paramedic
After April 2020’s COVID-19 Pandemic lockdown, I entered the healthcare industry. I miss all my painter friends and students but felt a need to lend a helping hand.
In the fall of 2020, I certified and licensed in emergency medical technology and worked as an Emergency Medical Technician. I earned my Advanced Emergency Medical Technician license and continued to learn more and train further. December 2022 I was granted my Paramedic license. Now I work serving the people of San Marcos and Hays County in their Emergency Medical Services system. It is beautiful to get to help people who have called us.
May you all continue to enjoy and create for each other a beautiful new world each day.
