Kenda provides a great resource for students, faculty, and staff here at PPSC. I recently renewed my CPR certification in her course at Centennial Campus and she did an outstanding job delivering the content, making it informative, understandable, and fun! Whether renewing, or getting certified for the first time, this course will be a benefit to you and those around you.

Kenda Cruz has been very flexible with scheduling our classes as we have shifts around the clock. She taught our CPR/AED class with humor and wit while still making sure to get the course material covered. She also spent extra time with our team as our members were having a difficult time. After her extra help, our team was able to switch roles and effectively keep the timing to help the victim stay alive.
