Support Abi's Journey to Become a Phlebotomist

Donation protected
Hi, I’m Abi! I was born and raised in Maryland, and I’m raising money for a Phlebotomy class. My career goal is to become a Physician Assistant. I am very thankful for my experience as an Emergency Medical Technician, but it’s time for me to switch it up. As an EMT, I accomplished so much and was able to explore parts of the United States.

At the beginning of my career, Covid-19 was at its peak. My first job was at an independent ambulance company in Baltimore doing interfacility transport. I worked there for over a year. Towards the end of my time there, I started working at multiple vaccine clinics as a Covid-19 Vaccinator. I resigned from doing interfacility transports to give Covid-19 vaccines in clinics throughout Maryland and DC. I later accepted my first EMT contract job. At 22, I got on a plane to Colorado to continue giving the Covid-19 vaccines on their Mobile Vaccine Clinic. I worked with people of all ages and got to experience so much out there. After my contract ended, I went home to Maryland and worked as an EMT running 911 calls. The opportunity to take another Travel EMT job was given to me, and I took the risk. Next thing I know, I’m flying to North Dakota, where I continued to make an impact on the community and people I had the pleasure to meet.

Sadly, due to medical reasons, I can no longer work in prehospital medicine. That won't stop me from reaching my goal. The next step for me is to become a Phlebotomist so I can save up for Nursing school or whatever is next. Last stop will be Physician Assistant School!

If you would like to contribute to supporting my dreams, please consider donating. It will be very appreciated. I am very excited for what’s to come!!

The Phlebotomist course fee is $1,150 and is a 4-week course. My goal is to sign up for the class that starts on January 6, 2025.
