PENSACOLA, Fla.—Senator Ashley Moody presented her Florida’s Finest Award to a Pensacola resident and customer service representative, Yvette Paradis, whose quick action during a routine work call helped a customer receive lifesaving care. What started out as a usual service call quickly took a turn when Yvette realized the customer was experiencing a seizure. She quickly called 911 to get the individual help which may have saved their life. Read more HERE.
Senator Ashley Moody said, “Yvette was having a normal day at work as a customer service representative when she answered a routine call, but it quickly turned into a life-saving operation when she noticed signs of distress on the other end of the line. The customer responded by telling her that he was having a seizure, and Yvette immediately called 911 to send the ambulance to his home and advised the customer’s neighbor to stay with him until help arrived. Though she had limited information and little time, Yvette made a decision that made the difference between life and death. Her quick thinking and responsiveness saved this man, and I am proud to recognize her with the Florida’s Finest Award.”
As Florida’s Attorney General, Senator Moody highlighted heroic law enforcement actions through her Back the Blue Award. During her tenure as Attorney General, Senator Moody gave out more than 50 Back the Blue Awards. The “Florida’s Finest” Award will continue the tradition of highlighting extraordinary Floridians who take heroic actions within their communities.
