What Drives Me

My career has always been centered around serving children, families, and students with patience, compassion, and steady guidance. Before becoming a CPR instructor I spent years working in education and community support roles across NYC, PA, and FL, including The City University of New York (CUNY), the NYC Department of Education, and recently having the honor of working at the Martin County School District, serving our community directly.

I supported students and adults from different walks of life in various settings, such K-12 and college classrooms, counseling, and academic advising. During my tenure at CUNY, I had the privilege of teaching young adults, and guiding them as they built confidence, communication skills, and direction for their future. My Master's degree in Organizational Leadership prepared me to work through challenges with clarity, calmness, and purpose, qualities that shape the work I do Safe Hearts CPR as an instructor.

As a father of two young boys, safety and preparedness are deeply personal to me. I understand the trust families place in the educators who teach their children, and I carry that same responsibility with humility when training new parents, healthcare professionals, and individuals from different walks of life who want learn life-saving skills and be prepared to help in a moment when one could save a life.

I founded Safe Hearts CPR to offer training that feels supportive, human, and empowering, whether for parents, caregivers, young leaders, or professionals. My mission is simple: to use my experience and core value of helping others to teach, guide and educate leading to long-lasting confidence.
