Hi! I’m Dayna. My husband and I bought EMTA in 1992 as I was taking my dental hygiene state board exam! Yes, obviously I do thrive on stress. I have worked in dentistry for the last 19 years and recently ‘retired’ to spend more time with my kids, Greysen and Meysa, and give EMTA the one-on-one it needs. I still work as a hygienist from time to time. The kids call it my ‘real job’!
I taught the programs at EMTA for years, but realized there are people out there more qualified than I. So I spend my time in the office running the business. My other passion is volunteering to provide free dental care to children. I love to travel, especially to sunny destinations and am trying to learn to love the game of golf!
Two things that I believe set EMTA apart from any other training organization out there are our instructors and our training manual. Our instructors are the greatest. They are all EMS field personnel. We have doctors, nurses, paramedics, EMT’s, firefighters and nurses. They all use the stuff they teach. They aren’t just monkey’s running a slide show! They know this stuff and they have fun with it. They will tell you stories that will not only make you laugh, but will drive home to point they are trying to make. That will stand out during an emergency and will enable you to perform these life-saving skills.
Our training manual has come a long way since 1992. It used to be a mimeographed (yes, I remember those machines), stapled booklet, riddled with typos and crude graphics. Over the years, we’ve worked diligently to update and upgrade the training materials. We stand proudly today with a full color, bound training manual that can rival any competitor. AND, we update that manual every 2 years. Life doesn’t stay stagnant and neither does health news or first aid.
As I hope you can tell, I believe in my company and the quality of training we provide. Take a look through our site and see how EMTA can help you. Thanks for taking the time. - Dayna!
