“Vonn is FULL of knowledge!
She is a great teacher. Very thorough, and makes sure you are doing everything correctly.
She even had great pointers and tricks for instructors who only have a few years under their belt! I would 100% recommend her for LGI and LG classes!”

“As Vonn’s colleague for more than 20 years, we speak often about the commitment to teaching students that the split-second decisions they will make determines whether someone survives a catastrophic event or whether they do not. Vonn’s attention to detail, her no-nonsense approach to instruction and her strict adherence to skill benchmarks and standards leave her students confident that they know exactly how to respond in an emergency and leave employers assured that when she certifies someone, they meet every course requirement.”

"I highly recommend Vonn as a CPR/First Aid instructor! Her course was thorough, engaging, and incredibly practical. She provided excellent opportunities to apply what we were learning through hands-on practice, while also sharing valuable insights and real-world context that helped make the information easier to understand and remember. I’ve taken CPR/First Aid classes MANY times over the years, and this was by far one of the most memorable learning experiences I’ve had. Vonn had a way of breaking down the concepts and presenting the materials in a way that really made everything land. I walked away feeling more confident in my understanding and ability to apply what I learned and when it matters most, I know I'll be able to spring to action! Thank you Vonn, for making an important course not only informative, but genuinely engaging and memorable!"
