Natalie (NREMT-P,CCP,ACLS,PALS, PHTLS) is a 23-year-old full time paramedic, and Pre-Med student from Southwest Louisiana. Her love of emergency medicine started at a young age as a constant patient for her local EMS agency (she’s not very graceful) and continued into her adult life. She plans to continue on to medical school and specialize in Obstetrics and Gynecology, but until then she is quite content working on a ground ambulance in a rural area. Her other passions and hobbies include music, singing, playing guitar, writing music, theater, all things Broadway, writing, blogging, social media, swimming, reading, cheering on the New Orleans Saints and spending time with her dogs, Alice and Jasper. She is also a medical podcast junkie. Proof: her hero and inspiration is none other than Chris Montera, host and creator of the EMS Garage podcast.

Wm. Random Ward (NREMT-P, ACLS) is a full time paramedic working in Baltimore, MD, a part time instructor at a local community college’s paramedic program, and a volunteer shift officer for his fire department in a nearby Washington, DC suburb. He found his way to Fire/Rescue through many “observational lessons” in the back of the local ambulance. In high school Random was afforded the opportunity to join his local firehouse as well as take part in training during the school day in the High School Cadet Program. He worked as an EMT-B for several years before pursuing his NREMT-P certification and licensure through a local community college. His love for EMS only grew as he discovered the world of EMS 2.0 and the affect of social media on his chosen profession. Random’s primary focus in EMS is to promote advocacy for the profession as well as advance public knowledge of what it takes to provide expert emergency care in the field.
