Aviyah
Baht Sinai
Aviyah's path to CPR education is not a career pivot. It is a continuation of something that started on September 11, 2001.
For nine years, she worked in technology. But after 9/11, something shifted permanently — she no longer wanted to watch from a distance while the world needed trained, capable people on the ground. That calling stayed quiet for years. It never left.
When she was laid off from Google in 2024, she didn't look for another tech job. She ran toward the thing she had always meant to do. Within months, she was a volunteer firefighter — not in theory, but in practice. Six months of active service. Real medical calls. Non-emergency ambulance transport. Full EMT coursework. She was selected to advance through the firefighter academy track before an injury redirected her path.
That injury didn't end her commitment to emergency readiness. It channeled it.
Vital Response Institute™ exists because of that journey — built by someone who has stood where first responders stand, who has answered calls, and who knows what it means to need training that actually holds up under pressure. Her AHA-certified instruction carries that weight.
