DANIELLE TURNER

---

In retrospect, Danielle Turner’s journey into emergency medicine began in 1990, in the family TV room of her Teaneck, New Jersey home. At just seven years old, she was captivated by Rescue 911, eagerly awaiting Tuesday nights at 8:00 PM to witness the medical mysteries unfold. Mesmerized by the professionalism, patient care, and adrenaline-filled world of emergency response, Danielle’s passion was set in motion. She devoured her father’s medical books and knew—long before most children dream of their future—that she was destined to become an Emergency Medical Technician.

At 12, driven by an unshakable determination, Danielle (with her mother by her side) eagerly walked into her township’s volunteer ambulance corps, only to learn she had to wait another three and a half years to officially join. The moment she turned 15 and a half, she returned and signed up without hesitation. While attending Teaneck High School, she simultaneously trained at the Bergen County EMS Training Center, earning her EMT certification and beginning her service to the community.

After high school, Danielle graduated with a B.S. in Biology from Morgan State University, blending her scientific knowledge with hands-on emergency medical experience. Her career spanned corporate, private, and hospital settings, but a pivotal moment came in 2014 when she was invited to teach first aid and basic emergency care skills to ESL students. Initially apprehensive—students were different from her usual patients—she embraced the challenge. Encouraged by family and friends, Danielle discovered a new passion: education.

Growing up in a household that valued knowledge and with a mother who was a dedicated educator, Danielle’s love for learning had been embedded in her DNA long before she realized it.

Determined to bridge the gap between emergency response and public education, she became certified through the American Heart Association to teach BLS, CPR, and First Aid. Recognizing the high demand for lifesaving education, she established Resilient E.M.S., a premier CPR and First Aid training company. Always pushing the boundaries of her expertise, Danielle went on to become a Certified 911 Officer, Certified Emergency Medical Dispatcher, and EMT Instructor Aide. In 2016, she added Event Medic to her impressive resume, becoming the trusted EMS provider for major productions and celebrities, including The Apollo, Suze Orman, Impractical Jokers, Guns N' Roses, Conan O'Brien, MTV, Nickelodeon, Lifetime, SpikeTV, and more.

Her expertise caught the attention of Power 105.1, where she was invited to teach radio host Angie Martinez and rapper Jim Jones Hands-Only CPR in 2022.

Now, in 2025, Danielle’s passion has taken an even deeper focus. With the launch of CPR By Danielle, she is dedicated exclusively to infant safety, ensuring that new and expecting parents, grandparents, and caregivers are equipped with the knowledge and skills to protect the most precious lives.

Today, Danielle continues to teach and save hearts across the world, two hands at a time.
