Two years into the program, Gibbs has helped Temple University students foster life-saving knowledge, with the hope they move on for their certification.
As a course still young in years, Gibbs is proud to boost the knowledge base of Philadelphia's future healthcare providers.
It's a pride that comes when students enter the program at a low confidence and skill level, and leave ready to be heroes if called upon.

"So blessed to work as both a healthcare provider and an educator as well...Being able to make a difference in patients' lives as well as students' lives', it's something that's so special... I definitely don't take for granted," said Gibbs.
