Maria Pinkhasov

I was born and raised in the Bay Area, California, and bring over 17 years of experience working on a 911 ambulance, responding to real-life medical emergencies and helping people during some of their most critical moments. That experience allows me to teach CPR and First Aid with practical, real-world insight so students leave feeling confident and prepared to act in an emergency.

As a mom to a 5-year-old, I also understand firsthand how important it is for parents and caregivers to feel prepared when it comes to child safety. I love helping families, teachers, and community members learn lifesaving skills in a supportive, approachable environment. My goal is to make CPR and First Aid easy to understand and give people the confidence to step in and help when it matters most.
