Experience

My journey began with completing my EMR and EMT course back in 2001, followed by achieving my OFA Level 3 certification. My background includes 5 years working as a “medic” on seismic projects, pipelines, and 5 years on a drilling rig. I truly enjoy the experience of being up north, contributing to team safety and preparedness.

With 23 years of experience teaching first aid, I have had the privilege of training individuals and teams, helping them gain confidence in emergency response. Teaching first aid is more than just a profession for me — it’s a commitment to safety, preparedness, and empowering others to make a difference in critical moments.

Experience

I’m Chantel Jackson, a certified Red Cross First Aid Instructor, passionate about teaching life-saving skills in a way that’s practical, engaging, and easy to remember. I love helping people feel confident and prepared to handle emergencies—whether at work, outdoors, or in everyday life.

My training sessions are hands-on, interactive, and tailored to real-world situations. Whether you’re a beginner or refreshing your skills, I’m here to make first aid training informative, approachable, and even a little fun.

When I’m not teaching, you’ll probably find me exploring the mountains with my family, enjoying nature walks, or staying active with sports. Living in Whistler has given me a deep appreciation for the outdoors, and I know how important it is to be prepared for anything—especially in adventure settings.

Experience

My name is Hughe Rose, and I’ve been a first aid instructor since 2006. As a young adult, I witnessed a serious emergency and felt helpless at the time. That experience, combined with my Rescue Diver training and some personal emergencies, sparked my commitment to learn more about first aid. I promised myself I would never feel that unprepared again. That promise led me to advanced training and eventually to becoming a first responder with the fire department. Along the way, I discovered a passion for teaching and have dedicated my career to helping others gain the skills and confidence to act in emergencies. Teaching first aid has been one of the most rewarding parts of my life—combining my love of education with the opportunity to truly make a difference.

Experience

My name is Amanda Larson, and I grew up in Squamish, where my love for the outdoors continues to inspire my daily life with my family. With a background in facilitating art workshops, I have guided many creative learning experiences and developed a strong passion for teaching. I am now excited to bring that same enthusiasm and dedication to the world of first aid, where I look forward to empowering young people with valuable knowledge and life-saving skills.

Experience

My name is Carmen Levine, I love teaching First Aid in Schools especially because it empowers our children with life saving knowledge. I am a Mom of two beautiful daughters, a retired dental hygienist, passionate artist, and outdoor enthusiast who has called Squamish home for over 20 years. I love exploring all that nature has to offer—skiing, hiking, mountain biking—and enjoy working with youth through art, schools, and outdoor activities. Whether in nature or in the classroom, I am dedicated to inspiring others and making a positive difference.
