Hey everyone, I'm Kyla! 

I am the Training Center Administrator. I have a background in office administration and a passion for teaching life-saving skills. 

Most of the time I am in the office, but I have been instructing for a year now as well. I'm excited to continue my journey educating the community! 

One of my favorite things about teaching is discussing scenarios and answering questions to make sure my students leave feeling confident about their knowledge, as well as building rapport with students to help solidify their understanding on responding to emergency situations. 

Hello there! Thanks for stopping by our web page. I’m Kyrsten “Kyr-s-ten”.

I am proud to be the Wyoming area certified instructor. I’m a mom of two lovely children who choked on air…. As a parent and former teacher, I can’t express how CPR, along with all the other tools we cover in our classes, are essential in order to not only build your confidence to save a life but to help you help others! Seeing the confidence in my students when they exit a class is my favorite part of teaching CPR. I hope to hear from you soon to provide you with these tools and the confidence in yourself to apply them!!

Hey there! I’m Rachel Ardern, with experience as an Intensive Care Nurse and a Nurse Educator, I’ve dedicated my career to saving lives and sharing knowledge. I’ve had the privilege of working in both Australia and Utah, where I’ve grown a deep appreciation for the art of caring for patients in critical situations.

When I’m not in scrubs, you can usually find me soaking up the sun by the water. Whether it’s a serene lake or the ocean waves, being near water fills me with joy and rejuvenates my spirit. Life is all about balance, and I love finding that sweet spot between my nursing career and my personal passions.

With over 6 years of experience in the steel industry and 5 years in construction, my hands-on experience has given me an understanding of the importance of training in emergency situations. As an EMR and CPR/FIRST-AID instructor, I aim to share my knowledge and skills in an enjoyable and constructive way to ensure others are prepared to respond effectively in emergency situations.

Hello! My name is Ren, and I am an instructor. When I am not teaching, I am either working as a veterinary medical professional or seeing the benefits of CPR firsthand when the unthinkable happens. I have personally been saved from choking when I was in high school. I am grateful that I get to serve my community and travel to others to teach lifesaving skills. I strive to have everyone leave the classroom confident and able. It is my goal to become and EMR instructor in 2025!

Jana came to Utah for school and the great outdoors and never left!

She was a former flight nurse and has taught BLS for 25 years. Jana is currently employed at the U of U Student Health Clinic and 1 Life CPR. Some of her hobbies include fitness, waterskiing, paddle boarding, travel, and annual humanitarian service trips to the Philippines, but her favorite thing is being a grandma to her 3 young grandsons! Jana whole-heartedly embraces BLS and has witnessed the benefits in her professional practice, her community, and even within her immediate family.
