Employee Spotlight: Christine Piccirillo

Christine’s journey in EMS began at just 14 when she joined the fire department to spend more time with her father. Inspired by her mother’s work in EMS, she officially joined at 16—and never looked back. Christine says, “I chose this path to be a better person and not go down a wrong path in life. It’s a good feeling when someone finds out what you do and shows automatic respect and love for our jobs.” What does Christine love about VMSC? “VMSC has shown what an EMS agency should be—family, support, respect, camaraderie, and professionalism. They put employees first, and that means so much.” This year, Christine focused on becoming the best version of herself, taking up powerlifting and spending time with her daughters and granddaughters. She enjoys playing Fortnite with the kids (yes, she’s a gamer!) and has set her sights on earning her motorcycle license next year. Christine is already part of the all-female riding group Stilettos on Steel, where her riding name is Wikked. Thank you, Christine, for your dedication to VMSC and your community. We’re lucky to have you on the team

Employee Spotlight: Ronald Grady

Today’s employee spotlight features EMT and dispatcher Ronald Grady. Although Ronald’s only been part of the VMSC team for just under a year, he has over 30 years of experience in the field. Encouraged by his uncle, who was a dispatcher at the time, he became an EMT right out of high school in 1989. Ronald now works as a dispatcher in our Philadelphia station. When asked what he enjoys most about this career Ronald says, “I enjoy the way this career keeps you on your toes. Every day is different!” Outside of work, Ronald enjoys playing basketball or softball, but his greatest joy comes from being a pop-pop. Join us in thanking Ronald for his many years of service and dedication! Thank you, Ronald!
