Casey

Hi, I'm Casey. I'm a Registered Nurse, CPR Instructor, a Sarasota native, and co-owner/operator of CPR Sarasota.

I'm also a very proud mom to three beautiful children. I've been a nurse for about 18 years, practicing in critical care, trauma, cardiovascular, and emergency medicine. I am specially trained as a SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner), and in emergency medical response to mass casualty and disaster events, as well as barrier precautions for highly infectious diseases.

I keep my skills sharp and actively practice the life saving techniques I teach in our courses as a Trauma Resuscitation Nurse at my local community hospital, where I also serve as the Trauma Injury Prevention Coordinator.

I love what I do, and I'm excited to share my passion for emergency care and teaching with you. I look forward to seeing you in class!

Scott

Hey! I'm Scott. I am a CPR Instructor, co-owner of CPR Sarasota, and a proud dad to an amazing family.

I was born in Maryland, but relocated with my family to Sarasota when I was in middle school. Sarasota however, is my forever home and I am grateful for this opportunity to give back to my community by teaching high quality CPR to my neighbors and fellow community members.

My first degree is in communications, and I have background training in fire sciences and emergency response. I really enjoy working with people, and teaching CPR has given me an amazing opportunity to meet a lot of awesome new people, like you!

Jamie

Hello! I am a retired Emergency Nurse and ED manager.

Managing an emergency department during COVID was challenging to say the least. Being one of the more experienced RNs there, I often had to fill the role of manager, charge nurse, critical care nurse, and educator.

I fell critically ill in 2022, and it left me with permanent physical disabilities, and I had to retire. I love to teach, and teaching American Heart method is one of the most important things you can learn. I used AHA almost every day of my career.

I met my beautiful wife, Marta, another ED RN. Marta and I are passionate about all things related to ED and ICU nursing. We have two children, and three granddaughters.

Instructor

Gabrielle

Hey there!

My name is Gabrielle, but people call me Snook. I'm from Charlotte, North Carolina, where I met my husband, and we relocated to Florida in 2011.

We moved to Florida so I could perform for Disney, Universal Studios, Sea World, and eventually became a principal dancer for Norwegian Cruise Lines.

After that, we moved to the Sarasota/Bradenton area, where I currently teach dance. My husband was a Firefighter/Paramedic for 13 years, and is now a full time ER RN at a level II Trauma Center. He is an AHA Instructor as well, and after sitting in on his classes, I am excited to be an instructor myself!

Hi, my name is Marta.

I am a very busy woman, but I have refused to submit a preferred photo or bio information for this website, so Casey chose one of her favorite photos of me to give you a little glimpse of my character.

Instructor

Jeff

Hi I'm Jeff. I started my career in healthcare in 2008, as a part time EMT in North Carolina, while finishing my degree in Exercise Science and Biology from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

My beautiful wife, when she was given the opportunity to dance and perform in her dream job, as a character at a Florida theme park you may be familiar with..., We moved to orlando, and I went to the Fire Academy and Paramedic school, and spent the next 12 years as a full time Firefighter/Paramedic.

I am now a Registered Nurse at a level II Trauma Center, in the ER, and an American Heart Association CPR Instructor.

I look forward to meeting you!
