Casey Kosch: Director & Trainer

Casey grew up in the Wimmera and has been a nurse for almost 15 years, working in various roles including Respiratory Nursing, Emergency and Intensive Care as a Critical Care Nurse.

Casey started her business after she and her farmer husband started a family. Casey wanted to stay working in health because she is so passionate about the industry, yet wanted to find a way to fit in her work around her young family, shearing, cropping, harvest and the general challenges of Murtoa farm life.

While running a business around the farm and family has its challenges, anyone who knows Casey would be aware that she thrives on a challenge. With great communication skills, just ask her school teachers, and a passion for rural health and education, first aid training the perfect fit for Casey.  

“The biggest highlight is when you teach a group who have completed first aid many times and they come out of the course saying it was the best course they have ever attended,” – Casey Kosch.

Gemma Cramer: Trainer

Gemma has been a paramedic with Ambulance Victoria for 17 years now. The first six years were in Metropolitan Melbourne, mainly in the eastern suburbs and the CBD. She came to Nhill in 2009 for a 3-month secondment and loved the people and the place so much that she decided to make the Wimmera her home. Shortly after moving, she met her now husband Aaron. They have two beautiful children together and own a local business.

“I like to help people to feel more confident if they were confronted with the scary situation of needing to render assistance to someone in medical need. I hope that I am approachable and able to share some of my experience to deliver my sessions with a ‘real life’ focus.”

Gemma Pfeiffer: Director & Trainer

Gemma completed a Bachelor of Paramedic Science at Flinders University in Adelaide. After working and volunteering for SA Ambulance, Gemma moved to Horsham where she currently works full time as a Paramedic with Ambulance Victoria. Recently Gemma completed her Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, with the aim to teach graduate paramedics, ambulance community officers and community members. In her spare time, Gemma is a keen musician and enjoys hanging out with her labrador, friends and family.

“I really enjoy seeing when people are more confident after a training session. I hope I can equip people to remember they can make a big difference to someone in need by providing first aid.”
