Meet Mathew Habib, one of our dedicated EMTs at VMSC EMS! Mathew’s journey in the medical field began when he volunteered in his hometown ER as a kid. His passion for working on ambulances started early, leading him to get his EMT certification through his high school. He began his career as a volunteer EMT at Drexel when he started college, where he discovered his love for being an EMT. After gaining experience in other EMS jobs, Mathew joined VMSC in September 2023. What Mathew loves most about working at VMSC is the willingness of everyone to help you learn and teach you something new. The supportive and educational environment is something he truly appreciates. Outside of work, Mathew enjoys continuing to volunteer at his college EMS agency, going to the beach in his home state of NJ, and finding new foods to try with his girlfriend and family. As for hobbies, he’s a big car guy who loves attending car shows, car photography, and working on and driving his own car. Thank you, Mathew, for your dedication and enthusiasm! We’re proud to have you on our team.

Today, we’re shining the spotlight on Allen Stewart, a dedicated EMT here at VMSC EMS team!  Allen’s journey into EMS wasn’t straightforward. After serving as a Deputy Sheriff for over a decade, he decided to pursue a career as a firefighter. Knowing that most departments required EMT certification, Allen attended EMT training at VMSC 12 years ago. To maintain his skills, he began working as an EMT part-time. What started as a way to stay proficient has turned into a fulfilling full-time career. Allen also serves as a part-time firefighter/EMT. Allen loves working at VMSC, where he finds joy in every shift. The fantastic crew, abundant training opportunities, and high call volume keep him engaged and constantly learning. Experiencing a wide variety of calls has made Allen a stronger provider and inspired him to further his abilities by pursuing a paramedic certification.      Outside of work, Allen has a passion for photography, though he’s usually behind the camera capturing cool moments. He also enjoys cooking, trying new foods, and exploring car shows during the summer. When he’s not busy with these hobbies, you might find him exploring the Perkiomen Trail.

Join us in spotlighting Moriyah Cox, a dedicated Paramedic here at VMSC! Moriyah’s journey in emergency medical services began in late 2018 when she embraced the challenge of a Bunk-In Program. Living at a Fire Department, undergoing EMT and Firefighting classes, and responding to 911 calls, Moriyah’s passion for EMS ignited. Despite being hundreds of miles away from her family in Georgia, the bonds forged in intense situations like firefighting or complex medical calls became her new camaraderie.

At VMSC, Moriyah found a supportive environment that nurtured her growth as a new paramedic. Surrounded by exceptional providers and engaging in continuous learning opportunities, she gained confidence in her skills and knowledge. Beyond the ambulance, Moriyah is on a quest for adventure.
