My name is Cassie and I’m originally from a very small town in Upstate New York. Currently, I am studying to achieve a Master’s degree in Behavior Analysis. I completed my Undergraduate degree in Psychology at Utica University in New York State with minors in Healthcare Ethics and Criminal Justice. I carry a lot of pride serving local communities by being a part of multiple fire departments and ambulance agencies both in the past and in the present. Some of these agencies include Yorkville Fire Department, Marathon Area Volunteer Ambulance, and Edwards Ambulance. During my time in Utica University EMS I was granted the title of Chief of Logistics operating as a liaison for the surrounding local communities and agencies while also educating future providers. This opportunity presented me with a whole new group of amazing and knowledgeable people who continued to build my passion in exploring different realms of information. It also reinforced my passion for the potential ways I can aid others through my future degree in Behavior Analysis. I believe that trying something new, even if it’s not in an area you may see yourself in at first, can lead to amazing things!
