“While in high school, I was afforded several opportunities to advance my knowledge, including attending RVCC and obtaining college credit while in high school,” Fulmore said. “I was also able to start serving my community by becoming a NJ certified Emergency Medical Technician.

After working as an officer for approximately three years, he continued his education, attending Rowan University, where he received a degree in medical sciences. He also became a Nationally Registered Paramedic and obtained licensure in New Jersey as a Mobile Intensive Care Paramedic.
