Meet Our Great Team
We have built an awesome team with skills and expertise in health care, teaching, management and sales.
Emma Travis
Emma founded Be Prepared in 2011 after earning her Honours Bachelor of Health Sciences (BHSc) and starting her first aid career with the Canadian Red Cross. What began as a small solo venture has grown—through her passion and dedication—into the thriving First Aid training business it is today.
Emma used to teach the majority of our classes, but these days you’ll often find her behind the computer managing the day-to-day operations. She’s teaching a little less now, but still pops into the classroom to share her knowledge, humour, and love of learning.
Chantelle Edmunds
As a lifeguard and swim instructor for over 15 years, Chantelle developed a passion for sharing her first aid knowledge with the community. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics from UBC and has worked at pools, beaches, and waterparks throughout Vancouver.
Chantelle joined the Be Prepared team in 2020—and we haven’t looked back since! Today, she’s an essential part of our team. You might meet her during Mask Fit Testing, CPR training, or even at our Youth classes.
Chantelle does it all! Don’t just take our word for it—check out our Google reviews and you’ll see how she brings energy and fun to every CPR class. She’s always creating new games and activities to keep both students and staff on their toes.
Fun fact: Chantelle is also the voice behind most of our social media posts!
