MORGAN Oldham
Company: Bennington Rescue Squad
Title: Director of Administration
Age: 31
Career Highlights: Planning and executing RescueFest. This was a community event that Bennington Rescue put on featuring live music, food, games, and a silent auction. This was such a fun way to open our doors to the community, bring in some funds, and enjoy an 
afternoon.
Community Involvement: Most of 
my current involvement is through the rescue squad though I try to dedicate any time I have to the schools. I have two young children and I love to volunteer at as many events as I can. Coming up with creative new ideas for fundraising is a passion of mine, in every facet of my life. I also think it's so important to recognize our educators, I like to be involved in showing that appreciation by assisting in luncheons for teacher appreciation.
What motivated you to live and work in Vermont? Vermont is where I want to (continue) to raise my kids. The crime rate is low, the views aligns (as well as any place could) with my own, and it's where I've always felt at home.
Favorite part of your job? I love knowing that I am a part of something so integral. Sure, I may not be in the field performing the life saving tasks, but I help the agency run. If I wasn't doing my part, the lights don't turn on and the wheels don't turn. It's so rewarding knowing that I'm a cog in that machine.
What is the best career advice you have received? Be true to yourself. Your intuition is what has gotten you as far as you've come, listen to it, it will guide you.
Tell us something fun about yourself that few people know: I'm an open book! There isn't much about me that people don't know. I love to sing karaoke, play video games, crochet, and read.
Favorite downtime activity: I love to sing karaoke, especially 90's themed karaoke, play World of Warcraft, and crochet.
Favorite Super Hero: Not a "super hero" per se but iconic in the MCU, Agent Phil Coulson from S.H.I.E.L.D. Coulson isn't out in the spotlight, he is a regular guy but his position is so important for the universe of super heroes. His agency keeps things running smoothly, he is vigilant, even tempered and levelheaded. He is my all time favorite character in the super hero universe.
Where do you see Person you would most like to share a Vermont beverage with: I've thought a lot about this, there are a lot of great people I'd love to meet and talk with over a beverage but honestly the person I would most like to share a beverage with is my husband, he will always be the person I would most want to share my thoughts and time with.
If you had unlimited access to funds, which cause(s) would you support: I would support the Hemophilia Foundation. My brother is a hemophiliac and so it is an organization that is near and dear to my heart.
Where do you see yourself professionally in the next 5-10 years? I would like to continue to grow as an EMS administrator, using my expanding knowledge to educate others and heighten my agency.
