CASWELL COUNTY, N.C. – A North Carolina paramedic was featured in Forbes for facing the coronavirus pandemic on the frontlines.

Jenna Tuttle has been a paramedic for 12 years, and works part-time for Caswell County EMS and full-time for Guilford County EMS.

She was recently featured in Forbes as a woman in healthcare on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Tuttle says it was an honor to be recognized and given the opportunity to shed some light on what first responders are facing during this crisis.

“There are things that we see that most people don’t ever see in their entire life, and we can see those things maybe every day, depending on where you’re working and what kind of calls you run. Adding the added stress off knowing that you may get sick and that you may contract an illness, and you may die just from going to do your job is hard and very stressful," Tuttle explains.

While busy juggling two jobs, Tuttle is also pursuing a doctorate. But that is not the only great responsibility she has.

Tuttle also has a wife and two foster sons she cares for. For weeks in April she also lived in the basement to keep her family safe.

She's since moved back in with her family but takes precautions before seeing them.

It's a risk she is willing to take to help others.
