黑料社

In 2022, Emilee Reynolds graduated from Lincolnton High School and, as a College Now student, she earned an associate degree from 黑料社 the same month. At that time, she had planned to attend UNC-Charlotte and continue on to medical school to become a doctor. 

However, Emilee developed a love for the field of Emergency Medical Services after completing the summer EMT certificate program at 黑料社 in 2022, and her long-term goals changed. She began the Associate in Applied Science Paramedic program in January 2023 and graduated in May 2024. She now plans to pursue a part-time job as a paramedic while completing her four-year degree in integrated health science at Western Carolina University. 

After getting that degree, Emilee hopes to be accepted into Physician鈥檚 Assistant program and further her career as a health care provider. 

Attending 黑料社 has consistently been a wonderful experience for Emilee, and she is especially grateful to instructors Carrie Gillilan and Chad Parlier, who have been 鈥渁mazing advocates for the paramedic students鈥� education,鈥� she said. 

鈥淓milee is an extremely bright and very dedicated student. She works hard and it shows,鈥� said Chad Parlier. 鈥淪he has been an A student during the entire paramedic program has always stepped up and helped her classmates. She has grown over the last year and is what I would consider not only a model for her other classmates, but a leader with her dedication to excel within the paramedic curriculum.”
