🖤 About Me 🖤

Hey, welcome to my page!

My name is Amber & I’m a licensed paramedic. I first started off as an EMT doing IFT (Inter-facility transport) in Orange County & LA for about a year before deciding to move to Austin TX where I worked in a diagnostic clinic (also as an EMT) for little over a year before starting my two year paramedic program at Austin Community College.

I graduated in May 2024, & shortly after that I started working as a paramedic in the emergency room at a Stroke/STEMI hospital that was in the heart of downtown Austin. After about 6 months (& many job application/interviews later) I was offered to work for a busy 911 system in Portland OR.

& well.. Here I am.

I currently live & work in Portland OR & I am in the beginning stages of my FTEP (Field Training & Evaluation Program). 03/27/25

Some fun non-work related things about me:

• I love food; specifically sushi, tacos, & pizza. (in that order)

• I love things that are aesthetically pleasing; colors, furniture, restaurants, etc.

• I love the beach & the mountains equally

• My favorite color is charcoal grey & recently hot pink? I don’t even know how that happened

• I have touched glitter in the last 24 hours

There’s a lot more to me, but I’ll leave you here with that for right now.

To sum it all up..

I had little to no help when I first started out as an EMT, but as time went on I started to make more friends & meet amazing mentors within EMS all over the world, which has quite literally led me to where I am today.

My goal is to create a community here & give it somewhere to go when they need some guidance. It isn’t easy starting something new, but it sure is easier when you have someone who’s been through it before & more than willing to walk you through it.

If you’re not in EMS, I’m also here for you too! I give ideas on how you can help out in your community!

Let’s work together to save some lives.

& as always,

xoxo ambie
