Meet Our Team
Meet Jessica
Hey y’all! I’m Jessica Taylor, a proud EMT from Phenix City, Alabama! I’ve been in EMS for 5 years—3 years in emergency 911 and 2 years in non-emergency transport.
I’m a Spencer High School Class of 2021 graduate. I earned my EMT license through Trinity EMS Academy, and I’ve also had the opportunity to teach along the way!
Now, I’m proud to serve as the Head Administrator of Platinum EMS Academy, where I get to help train, encourage, and build the next generation of healthcare heroes.
I guess you could say I went from answering 911 calls to answering student questions
