Employee Spotlight: Melinda Ritchie
Position: Paramedic

Melinda has been a paramedic at LifeNet since 2014. She originally studied athletic training, but while working sporting events with EMS crews, she fell in love with EMS and switched degrees.

“I love helping people,” she said. “To me that is rewarding in itself.”

When Melinda isn’t working at LifeNet, she enjoys playing golf, drumming, shooting, dancing, and singing.

“Dancing and singing are never in public,” she noted.
