Melonie Powell

About the Founder  

I am a Registered Nurse with a master’s degree in Nursing Education. I have spent the past 13 years working on a Trauma Recovery Unit at one of Oregon’s only two level-1 trauma centers. Working in this environment has allowed me to see firsthand the value and importance of knowing these lifesaving skills.


I have been a part of a team that has saved many lives using these skills. I enjoy working as a team, providing quality care, and being prepared at all times to provide emergency care when needed—so much so that I now have a strong desire to help others in Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington learn them.

Mission Statement

My mission is to teach the highest standards of CPR and first aid to anyone who attends my classes. I provide students with valuable information and high-quality training services to give them the knowledge and skills needed to save a life and/or assist people​ who are ill or injured until other help arrives.


I strive to make each learning environment comfortable, personalized, and fun for every individual, health care provider, community, and business that attends my classes.

  • My experience as a trauma recovery nurse has given me the ability to share real, true stories that are interesting to hear, yet helps student better understand the information and skills being taught.
