ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

Dr. Stephanie Zoltowski-Siordia

Since 2020, I have worked with over 3,500 first responders and first receivers, promoting learning through laughter and imagination in the classroom.

My mission is to build bridges between first responders and the communities they serve, ensuring every session leaves participants better prepared, more confident, and equipped to make a positive impact.

I believe that better-trained, mentally resilient first responders make better decisions, protect their communities more effectively, and go home safely to their families.
