Hey Ya’ll, it’s Dana from Before the Call!

I was never the brightest crayon in the box when it came to my school work, honestly I was probably the brown that blended in with the box! I initially wanted to be a comedian, making people laugh is something I’m good at, but God placed it on my heart to be a Medic and the rest is history. I struggled all the way through school, Basic EMT, my Volunteer Fire and Paramedic. It wasn’t until I became an EMS Instructor that I started to see a trend with my students all having the same problems! Fast forward 10 Years to when I started my college degree that I learned about Personality Types and their approach in the classroom and during testing. I developed my own Learning Concept and then tried it when I went to my Level 2 Fire. Guess what? It worked!!!!!

Since figuring out how each personality type will test differently and how they need to approach a question, I have achieved a personal 92% first Time NREMT rate as an Instructor!


I love showing people that they can succeed in this field once they learn all about themselves and what they are capable of! And of course, you spend an hour with me you’ll walk away with an understanding and some new jokes!



““I remember the exact moment I asked God why He put it on my heart to be a Paramedic Firefighter but didn’t give me testing abilities… later I figured out He was preparing me for this”
