Aleah Arrellano discovered her passion for helping others as a Red Cross lifeguard. 

Having grown up around pools and loving the water, starting her career as a lifeguard was a natural fit. She eventually expanded her lifesaving skillset by taking an EMT course. Aleah continued to grow in her field, becoming the dedicated paramedic she is today.

Aleah is still connected to our lifesaving mission and continues to use her lifeguarding knowledge to teach other Red Cross lifeguards in training. Aleah uses her experience as an emergency responder to inspire her students.

“I teach my lifeguards that it’s more than just a summer job,” Aleah said. “I show them how their training can impact lives and take them down career paths in healthcare.”

We’re grateful for emergency responders like Aleah who go above and beyond to care for their communities. ❤️
