I also strive to make CPR classes accessible, easy to schedule and easy to attend. I provide accomodation for anyone with physical and learning disabilities providing that they can perform the skills when needed. I also provide courses at convenient times and locations for parents who may need to bring their children along. Lack of childcare should not be a barrier to learning CPR and First Aid.

How did Coastal CPR and First Aid happen? It began as a small idea to earn a part-time income after leaving work full-time to take care of my growing family. I had a previous part-time career as a call Firefighter/EMT-Intermediate and had been a NH State EMS Practical Exam Evaluator. My business grew slowly and casually. In 2009 I reorganized and became an LLC.

I am currently a mom of 4, a CPR and First Aid Instructor for almost 10 years and an AHA Training Center Faculty Member. I volunteer with my children and in my community and I enjoy teaching as a way to continue to give back to my community and to support the American Heart Association by teaching the skills needed to make a difference.

The TEND-A-TOT™, a 6-in-1 baby/childcare Diaper Bag-Tote, came about as a result of my creative endeavor to improve on the shawl sling used in Greece and elsewhere in old-world countries.  I needed something that would provide nurture, comfort, security and mobility for the littlest members of our family as well as ease of care, when away from home.  I started with the idea of a child carrier that could be used as an instant chair/seat on most dining and restaurant chairs, which also carried all of baby’s necessities for short- or long-term outings and travels.  Although simplicity and ease of mobility for the caretaker were among my goals, my primary desire was to create a product that would provide nurture, comfort and security for baby.       

With 20 years experience in higher education, I realized I had a talent for helping anxious families navigate the college admission/financial aid process.  I could help families understand the changing admissions landscape and financial aid acronyms and complicated applications.  I could make shy/humble teens realize something they did made them unique.  I helped people become better consumers, advocates, and investors, and I loved every minute of it. 

I aim to help students find colleges that are places where they can grow and flourish.  The Moving Forward Newsletter allows me to share this information with a wider audience at an affordable price using my professional experience, sense of humor, and power of the pen (err, keyboard).    I also have a college application checklist to help students stay organized throughout the processes, and personal one-on-one counseling is also available.
