Kirsten Schmuck

Operations Manager, Washington

Kirsten has been a member of Cascade Training Center since February 2017. She has always wanted to pursue a career that would allow her the opportunity to help others. Kirsten attended Western Washington University in 2013; while there she began working as a nanny, which required her to attend a Heartsaver class. In April 2015, her father suffered an episode of sudden cardiac arrest while at his home; Kirsten performed CPR continuously for several minutes until EMS arrived to take over. After six days in the hospital, her father got to come home to his family and the hospital staff said that her quick action saved his life. Kirsten promptly began teaching First Aid, CPR & AED courses all over Washington State before getting hired by Cascade. She now manages the offices in Washington while continuing to build strong relationships with the community and Cascade's existing clients.

When Kirsten is not working she enjoys running, biking, rollerblading, and hiking, and if the Washington weather permits, nature and wildlife photography. If it's an indoor type of day, she loves to bake and spend time with her Shih Tzu, Finnegan and Ball Python, Monty.
