Julie handles a little bit of everything marketing-related. She began her career as an editor for a dog magazine, but most of her work since then has been digital marketing for B2B companies. She first started working with the Limmers in 2015, and her first project was the launch of EMTReview.com! After a foray into corporate America, Julie is happy to be back in the EMS world.

She lives in Phoenix with her husband and three dogs (Wallaby, Bear Claw and Hobbes). She enjoys literary fiction and trying to be a good gardener. For a city person, Julie has an unusual amount of experience with goats. If you know anyone who needs a good goat herder, please get in touch.

Cheryl started with the company in 2012 as Executive Admin extraordinaire. Over the years she enjoyed her interactions with educators and was excited to move into the role of Account Manager in 2021. She now handles the management of all educational bulk sales and provides support for our educator customers. Her first priority is to ensure that educators are easily using Limmer Education products to their full potential with their students. Her greatest satisfaction comes from knowing that she is indirectly helping students acquire the knowledge to pass their exams and be top-notch providers.

Cheryl lives in Kennebunk with her husband and their labradoodle Maxwell. They have three adult sons (who all agree that Maxwell is the favorite child). When she isn’t secretly trying to get an acceptable score in EMT PASS, Cheryl enjoys kayaking, spending time with family, and volunteering with Maxwell as a therapy dog team.

Hilary started with Limmer Education as an Account Manager in 2024, after five years in Enterprise SaaS sales, by way of the e-commerce, apparel, and higher ed fundraising worlds. As an Account Manager, Hilary will be focused on supporting our educator customers and ensuring educators and students are equipped for their EMS education journey.

Hilary lives in Southern Maine with her husband, and a gaggle of children and cats. In her free time, she enjoys spinning, gardening, and is always trying to learn how to play a new instrument. Ask her about the time she played banjo in a bluegrass band.

Betsy Duckworth is the Product and CE Manager at Limmer Education, where she manages all products and leads the company's continuing education initiatives.

Betsy worked previously as the Training Coordinator for Danbury Hospital and held certifications of AEMT, CPR Instructor, and CT EMS-I. Betsy has a degree in English Literature from the University of Pennsylvania

Betsy lives in Connecticut, where she pretends she is “Manhattan adjacent,” but is really over 90 minutes away and more likely to see bears than Broadway. Betsy is married to a career fire captain and paramedic. They have one ironically cautious son whose middle name is (literally) “Danger,” an easily overheated beagle/Australian cattle hound, and two cats (one whom they adopted and one who adopted them).

Maddie joined the Limmer Education team in 2021 as our Administrative Assistant. Her background is in English and non-profit work. She served two years as an AmeriCorps member in Austin, TX as a literacy tutor.
