Stephanie White
Paramedic
Nationally registered Paramedic since 2009. I have worked for Fort Mill Rescue since January of 2011 and love my involvement with the agency. I also teach a course at York Tech called "Responding to Emergencies" since 2012. I'm a CPR instructor as well. In addition to performing paramedic skills, I am also certified to drive and operate the ambulance. It has been my pleasure to serve the community with Fort Mill EMS and I am grateful for the opportunity to help those in need of our services. In addition to my career with Fort Mill, it has been a lot of fun working with new members of the squad that are interested in EMS as we work with them on developing their base skill set to prepare them for school. So many people have started their EMS careers right here with Fort Mill Rescue and it has been rewarding to be apart of the new generation of EMS providers. When I am not working, I train and compete in Ultra Marathons...100+ mile competitions!
