My Daily Routine
My class operates on a rotating shift schedule with several additional class days to account for the shorter summer semester. I also have several randomly selected day shifts at the JFK Medical Center and at Palm Beach County Fire Rescue Station 18.

Pandemic Pick-up
Emergency management is acutely attuned to the nature of inequality and the COVID pandemic. Those working in the field have been engrossed in it from day one.

Day In A Life As A Mayo SURF
I have finally arrived in Minnesota and am staying in a quiet small town outside of Rochester. A typical day in my life consists of waking up at 5:30 AM and having some time to myself of mindfulness and getting ready for my commute to Rochester. Our days at Mayo Clinic start with morning meetingsContinue reading “Day In A Life As A Mayo SURF”
