Dealing with COVID-19 has accounted for about half of Andrew Molby’s career at GEMS, but the pandemic reminds him why he chose to pursue a career in emergency medical services in the first place.
Molby became an EMT at GEMS in Nov. 2019. He was recognized as a GEMS Outstanding EMT during EMS Week 2020, which was May 17-23.
A lot of hard work got Molby where he is today. Early on in elementary school, Molby had a hard time spelling, writing and reading. His parents took notice and had Molby tested for learning disabilities.
“I have dyslexia and dysgraphia, so I was taken out of public school and I was home-schooled all the way through high school,” Molby said. “I was struggling with a lot of stuff that I should have already been able to understand.”
A career in emergency services intrigued Molby early on and stayed with him through high school.
