Jess Mayberry

Since joining Bell Ambulance in the fall of 2022, Jess Mayberry has distinguished herself through an exceptional commitment to clinical excellence, professional growth, and the development of those around her.

Jess advanced quickly within the organization, earning the role of Crew Chief in March 2023 and becoming a Field Training Officer (FTO) just four months later. While continuing to serve full time as an FTO, she took on the additional challenge of Paramedic school, ultimately earning her Paramedic license in the spring of 2026. Her progression reflects the determination, discipline, and work ethic she brings to every aspect of her EMS career.

In 2025, Jess’s peers nominated her for recognition as Bell Ambulance’s EMT of the Year. As an FTO, she earned particular praise for her individualized approach to training, transparent communication, and ability to strike the right balance between allowing trainees the autonomy to grow and providing support when they need it. Her approach helps new providers develop not only their clinical abilities but also the confidence necessary to succeed in EMS.

In high-stress situations, Jess is known for her commanding presence, composure, adaptability, and strong patient advocacy. She treats every patient with dignity while remaining equally attentive to the well-being of her crew. Whether caring for a patient or developing a new provider, Jess leads through example and demonstrates a genuine commitment to helping others succeed.

Away from work, Jess enjoys reading and cooking. Her colleagues also benefit from her time in the kitchen, as she has been known to bring homemade treats to the station to share.

Jess’s work ethic, continued pursuit of excellence, and commitment to advocating for both her patients and her peers exemplify the very best of EMS. Bell Ambulance is proud to recognize Jess Mayberry as a Star of Life.
