I currently teach Agriculture and career skills as well as provide Equine therapy to at risk youth in Southeastern Arizona. I have been teaching for 10 years and hold both Arizona and California teaching licenses and am current in my CAN license. I have been teaching CPR for more than five years. I enjoy working with people who are underprivileged and or disabled and find teaching CPR to be a great respite to what can be a taxing job. I have met some exceptional people over the years and hope to continue teaching CPR for many years to come. I enjoy teaching and sharing my knowledge of CPR and First Aid and also enjoy keeping up on all the current research available in both areas.
Hi, my name is Jacqueline Henkel. I moved to Arizona from Ohio 4 years ago and currently reside in Arizona City. I have been working in the Health Care field since 1990. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant as well as a State Tested Nursing Assistant. I began my career working in nursing homes and doing home health care. I received my CPR and 1st Aid instructor certificate through ASHI in 2007 and enjoy teaching such a wonderful life saving class. I offer one-on-one classes to fit your schedule. I am also willing to come to you if you have a group. I will work with you in scheduling. I offer night classes as well. It's never the wrong time to learn to save a life.
I moved to Arizona from Northern Vermont and I'm enjoying the change. I have an education in Nursing with an Associates in Liberal Science. I am presently working on my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. I have worked in the health field for over 10-plus years. I've worked in nursing homes, sex offender group homes and practiced as an EMT in Barton Vermont. As a licensed case manager in Arizona, I teach CPR/First Aid to families and license parents as First Aid Resource Parents. I find that having the opportunity to help people empower themselves with lifesaving skills is, on both a personal and business level, wonderfully rewarding.

Hi, my name is Michelle Warburton. I reside in northern Arizona and I am an educator by heart. I have been actively involved in educating others since 1998 in various environments. I am a graduate from Northern Arizona University with a Masters degree in Education Leadership and Human Relations-Counseling. My undergraduate degree is in Education from Prescott College. I became interested in search and rescue in 2009 and became a k9 handler. I decided to become a certified EMT in 2011 to assist with my skills and knowledge when deployed in the field for emergency situations. I am a CERT member with a local fire department. I love to volunteer with organizations that have a mission to make a difference and save a life. I would love the opportunity to teach you the skills to save a life as well.
I graduated from Central Arizona Community College in 2001 with my RN degree. I tell everyone RN means "Real Nerd" rather than "Registered Nurse." I have been teaching CPR for about 20 years. I teach anyone and everyone who is willing to learn. This included my daughter, Mallory, who was three at the time. Resus 4 Life was created one evening when Diane and I were trying figure how to make a little extra money. There we were, "Resus 4 Life." Since then, while Diane was working to make the company grow, I was off to Colorado to find myself. I now live in Parker, Colorado and work for a Hospice company teaching patients and families how to cope with death and dying. I have remarried, so now I am Peggy Smith rather than Peggy Cramer. Together, my new husband and I have 3 teenaged girls. I continue to teach CPR and First Aid, but find helping patients die comfortably my true calling. However, CPR can save lives when the time is right, so please continue to learn.
