🚑Kylie Grogan - Full-time EMT in Keokuk🚑

1. How long have you worked in EMS?
I have worked in EMS for three years.

2. Who has been the biggest influence on your career path, and why?
I would say not one person in particular. My coworkers who are go-getters and are passionate about what they do are a big influence to me. They make me want to be and do better everyday and continue to learn.

3. What are you most passionate about outside of work?
Being with the people I love and having fun. There’s no better feeling than getting to be with the ones who mean the most to you.

4. If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
Vaadhoo Island. Glowing beaches at night- I’m sold.

5. You win the lottery! What’s the first thing you would do?
I might not tell anyone but there would be signs😂 Build my forever home and probably buy too many farm animals.

6. Describe a funny or memorable moment you’ve had with a colleague.
I tried to bake a homemade cake and it was an absolute fail. Somehow I ended up with 9 whole sticks of butter in the icing? My coworkers still make fun of me to this day for my poor cooking skills.
Also the Lil Dicky jam sessions. And the prank wars but I’m not sure I can go into detail about that.

7. What’s your favorite way to spend a day off?
I love to help around the farm as well as help with my boyfriends dirt work company (Shout out to Breuer Earthworks- Hit them up for all your dirt work needsđŸ€Ł) but when I’m not doing that I enjoy buying new plants, sewing, quilting, reading, and gardening. Basically I’m an old sole in a 26 year olds body lol.

8. What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
Do what you’re afraid to do. Learn from your failures. Focus on what you can control and don’t bother worrying about what you can’t.

9. If you could learn any skill instantly, what would it be?
I’d want to learn whatever skill the billionaires used to get filthy rich.

10. What advice would you give someone just starting their career in your field?
Take your time, be confident in your choices, and find a style that works for you. Also, be open to learning, everyone has something they can learn from someone else.

So many questions, so little time!⏳

We know it can seem like we are asking so many questions but your answers provide critical information that helps us determine what type and how much help to send. Once a location has been determined, an emergency response is initiated.

💡Answering the call taker's questions does NOT delay help!

Emergencies can be stressful so remember, the more information you can provide, the easier it will be for us to help you when seconds count!⏰

🚑Jenn Vantiger - Full-time EMT in Donnellson🚑

1. How long have you worked in EMS?
-EMS a little over a year, I've been a respiratory therapist since 2009

2. Who has been the biggest influence on your career path, and why?
- It really wasn't a person, but an opportunity. I worked at Henry County as a RT and a patient needed transferred, I had an opportunity to be a team member in the back and I think that's when I think i wanted to make a switch to pre-hospital care, I just didn't know how.

3. What are you most passionate about outside of work?
- I like hanging out with my husband, dogs and horses.

4. If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
- I wouldn't mind trying moto-camping or overlanding out west at least once.

5. You win the lottery! What’s the first thing you would do?
- Let's just say....there will be signs

6. Describe a funny or memorable moment you’ve had with a colleague.
- When I first started at Lee County, we got called to an accident and I made an absolute mess of putting on my bunker gear. I literally had to have my partner help me out the pants and unravel me like I was a toddler. Let's just say if I was ever wondering about moonlighting as a firefighter, the question was quickly answered right then and there.

7. What’s your favorite way to spend a day off?
- riding my horses or hitting up a weekend rodeo or barrel race during the summer. When the weather falls below 60⁰ you will find me under blankets and hibernating until spring.

8. What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
- You are your worst critic, don't be so hard on yourself.

9. If you could learn any skill instantly, what would it be?
- Directions

10. What advice would you give someone just starting their career in your field?
- Never drive past a Dairy Queen

🚑Alli Campbell- Full Time AEMT in Donnellson🚑

Today is Alli’s last day with us at LCEMS. She is moving to Omaha to begin PA school at UNMC. Please help us in congratulating Alli and wishing her well at PA school!

From Alli: “Today is my last day in EMS, and I want to say a quick thank you to Lee County EMS for helping me learn and grow as a healthcare provider, and thank you to all my coworkers for the support and encouragement they've given me on my PA school journey.”

1. How long have you worked in EMS?
-I became an EMT seven years ago and got my Advanced EMT certification two years ago to provide a higher level of care for my patients.

2. Who has been the biggest influence on your career path, and why?
-My parents have always pushed me to do my best and provided me with every opportunity to follow my passions and interests. I am where I am today because of them. Love you guys!

3. What are you most passionate about
outside of work?
- I love to crochet and knit! I'm also an avid traveler and scuba diver.

4. If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
-If I could go anywhere, I would go to Alaska and eat all the crab legs they have.

5. You win the lottery! What’s the first thing you would do?
- If I won the lottery, I would first pay off my house and PA school loans, then I'd give the rest to our local animal shelters so they can continue doing amazing work.

6. Describe a funny or memorable moment you’ve had with a colleague.
- I have so many great memories with every one of my coworkers. We are with each other for 24 hours at a time, so we are bound to laugh a lot. Shout out to my EMS partners Ellie and Billy, you guys are the best.

7. What’s your favorite way to spend a day off?
-I like to crochet while watching NCIS, cook, and play video games with my husband and friends.

8. What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
-Never judge a book by its cover. It's said all the time, but I think it's so important to remember, especially as a healthcare provider.

9. If you could learn any skill instantly, what would it be?
-I wish I could learn languages quickly. I love learning new languages, and it would be awesome to be able to become fluent fast.

10. What advice would you give someone just starting their career in your field?
-Never be afraid to ask for help and always utilize your resources. Nobody can know everything, and that's ok. You have to lean on your colleagues and continue learning every day to be successful in EMS.
