I wanted to be an ambassador because of the growth and opportunities it provides and because it was something that made me uncomfortable. The EMT course is the second course I have taken through MTECH, the first being the CNA program, so I am not new to discovering what you like and continuing your education. I love teaching people and helping others discover what they want to do and become, and I am grateful to be able to represent MTECH and to be able to do that through the ambassador program.
