Thank You, EMS World Expo!

 

What an incredible few days at EMS World Expo in Orlando! We enjoyed connecting with EMS professionals from across the country, seeing the latest innovations in emergency care, and being part of an event that brings so much of the EMS community together.

 

A special thank you to everyone who stopped by the Platinum Educational Group booth to connect with David Quinn, Kathie Elias, and Beatrice Alegria. We appreciated the conversations about Platinum Planner, EMSTesting, and how we can continue supporting EMS educators and their students.

 

Thank you to EMS World and everyone who stopped by to see us. Did you catch our Inside EMS World Expo video? Take a look here for a glimpse of the action from Orlando!

Jennifer Jensen (1)

Jennifer Jensen has worked with Platinum for several years as a contracted Content Creator and has officially joined the team full-time as our Nursing Content Development Specialist.

 

Jennifer has spent more than 30 years as a nurse, bringing an extensive background in both clinical practice and administration. Throughout her career, she has learned that patience, good communication, and simply making someone feel a little better can go a long way.  Her experience has given her a grounded, practical outlook that comes through naturally in the way she carries herself.

 

When she’s off the clock, you’ll find Jennifer spending time with her family, keeping up with her dog Ellie, wearing purple without a second thought, and playing The Mountain Goats a little too often.

 

We’re excited to welcome Jennifer in this new capacity and have her knowledge, experience, and expertise as part of the Platinum team!
