Emily González, MPH, NREMT-P, SEI, has been working as an EMT and Paramedic for 9 years in both urban and rural communities throughout Washington State. Her ultimate goal is to fundamentally shift the nature of EMS in order to create a more just and equitable world.
Through her professional work as an EMT and then paramedic supporting the health of our communities, she has developed a deep passion for increasing equity and diversity and advocating for marginalized communities in healthcare. She has been a fierce advocate for women in EMS because of the gender-based discrimination and inequities she has experienced throughout her professional career.
Emily González is currently pursuing a Doctor of Education degree in higher education leadership at City University of Seattle. She received her Master of Public Health and Bachelor of EMS Paramedicine degree from Central Washington University.
