Cerianne Martin

I am a South African born and bred paramedic by background, starting my career on the streets of Johannesburg some 13 years ago. Four countries and many experiences later, find me with my other half and two children in beautiful Cambridgeshire. I have a passion for learning and making a positive difference to my patients’ journeys, and volunteer with a community support group on some of my days off. The rest of my time, when not with family and running around after two children, (three cats, a rabbit and snake), is spent in the garden and exploring new scenic places.
