Hello, my name is Syreeta.

In 2014, I lost my mother while she was shopping at Walmart. She collapsed, and no one initiated CPR. No one stepped in. No one acted. And because of that, she never made it home. That moment changed my life forever. It taught me, in the most painful way possible, that a lack of action can cost a life just as quickly as a medical emergency itself.

For more than twenty years, I have worked as a nurse across long‑term care, assisted living, and pediatrics. In every setting, one truth has followed me: emergencies do not wait for the “right” person to be nearby. They happen in hallways, dining rooms, bathrooms, parking lots—wherever life decides to change in an instant.

Over the years, I watched how my co‑workers responded during real emergencies. Some were confident and skilled, but many were hesitant, unsure, or afraid to act. I realized something that shook me deeply: I could not trust that the people standing next to me in a crisis would know how to save me.

That realization became the turning point.

Because when someone collapses, you don’t get to choose who’s standing next to you.
But you can choose how well they’re trained.

I started Everyday Heroes CPR because I believe every person—nurse, caregiver, babysitter, parent, teacher, neighbor—deserves the confidence to act when a life is on the line. High‑quality CPR training should not be intimidating, rushed, or treated like a checkbox. It should be hands‑on, realistic, empowering, and taught by someone who understands the real world of patient care.

My mission is simple:
To build a community of everyday heroes—people who are prepared, confident, and capable of saving a life when it matters most.
