Medical Career Academy's Staff
Tina Palermo, EMS Director
I proudly served as an EMS Captain with Palm Beach County Fire Rescue for 28 years. I hold a B.S. Degree from the University of Massachusetts and received my Paramedic from Broward Community College. After a 4 year hiatus I decided to get back into the business that I love; training today's students to become successful EMT's and Paramedics in the emergency healthcare field. I look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your goals.

Cathy Waldron, Financial Director
I graduated from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University with a BS in Aviation Business Administration. I traded my dream of flying across the skies for the big red truck and flames over my head and never regretted one day. I worked for Lake Worth Fire Rescue as a Paramedic/Driver Engineer and retired from Palm Beach Country Fire Rescue 5 years after the merger. I have worked with Tina and Marty in the Fire and EMS education industry for many years and enjoy seeing new students begin their career of a lifetime and keeping us old timers up to date. I look forward to seeing new excited faces to train and become our next leaders in Emergency Services.
