Laura Harkins

Nurse, Arkansas

“I am incredibly passionate about STOP THE BLEED® because most people will need to utilize one of these skills at some point in their lives. I trained MANY teachers and staff in my school last year and have a goal to expand this training and awareness within my church and community. These skills are essential! Nurses need to be a voice for such important programs.”

Cesar Rodolfo Romero Arias

Doctor and Paramedic, Bolivia

“As a Doctor and Paramedic, I have played a prominent role as a pioneer of the STOP THE BLEED® campaign in Bolivia for approximately six years. I've had the opportunity to conduct workshops and training sessions in different communities, emphasizing my love and passion for teaching. I am enthusiastic about sharing my knowledge and experiences, especially in the context of bleeding control, where I have directly witnessed the positive impact of a quick and effective response.

“The satisfaction I derive from seeing people absorb this knowledge and feel empowered to act in critical moments is indescribable.”

Justin J. Gardiner

Code Compliance Manager

Former US Army and Federal Police Officer

California

“I became an Instructor because as a former combat infantryman in the US Army and Federal Police Officer, I first hand realized the importance of identifying and stopping life threatening bleeding from traumatic events and accidents. I wanted to share my real-world knowledge and experience to people who may have otherwise never been subjected to these topic.”

Intervention Paramedic at

SAMU Metropolitan

“My name is Carlos Vera, I am a Nursing Technician and Paramedic. Since 2014, I have done work promoting the hemorrhage control course in all areas, prehospital, Civil, Tactical, First Responders and Immediate Responders. I promoted the Ambassadors campaign, as well as the correct initiation and registration for instructors to this great campaign. My love for this campaign was born from my work as a Volunteer of the Chilean Red Cross and a Volunteer of Firefighters of Chile, joining when I was 11 years old!  I currently work as an Intervention Paramedic at SAMU METROPOLITAN, the public ambulance service of my country, as well as an instructor for various international emergency and emergency teaching organizations. I give free courses to the community in order to contribute to the mitigation of the risk of potential emergencies of uncontrolled bleeding. My work is concentrated more in Chile and Mexico, where we are currently carrying out First Aid campaigns and Bleeding Control Kits.”

Training is at the heart of the STOP THE BLEED® campaign and STOP THE BLEED® Instructors are the ones that make the heart beat!  The Instructor Spotlight shines a bright light on individuals engaging their communities about STOP THE BLEED®.
