Today, we're excited to introduce you to Colleen Kent of Binghamton. Colleen's sister, Joan Wright, nominated Colleen to become a member of our First Responders Wall of Fame writing the following to us:

My sister Colleen, became a paramedic about 2 years ago. She went back to school while working full time and taking care of her family in order to become a paramedic. She loves to help people and is full of compassion and love. We are all very proud of her!

Our community is a better place because you, Colleen, are in it and we salute you and genuinely thank you for being the incredible human that you are!
