I would like to learn more and add on to rural nursing in the future. This project helped me learnt the extent of personal sacrifices that paramedics had to make in order to serve the population.

I am a student of Business Marketing at Saskatchewan Polytechnic. I am an Electrical and Electronics Engineer passionate to learn Digital Marketing. I am a traveler and I love meditation.
Marketing research had been an interesting subject in my course. I considered, to research about the moral dilemmas of frontline police officers during Covid 19 as an opportunity to use my research skills to learn about the difficulties they faced and help in finding a solution or helping them in finding their solutions! This was an opportunity to learn and an opportunity to serve.
