Meet Debbie
Debbie is a registered nurse and instructor with over 30 years of experience who teaches the way she always wished she had been taught. She designs her training by putting herself in the learner’s place and focusing on real-life application.
She believes learning is personal and hands-on—because when someone needs CPR, there’s no room for uncertainty. Practice continues until skills are understood, confident, and second nature.
Her goal is that every participant leaves prepared, capable, and ready to act when it matters most.
