I am Darryl Lee, a Year 3 NYP nursing student and a Home Team Sponsorship recipient. Driven by a strong desire to help others, I started my journey as a first responder at 16 — an experience that shaped how I see life and strengthened my goal of becoming an SCDF Paramedic Specialist.

I hope to inspire more youths to step forward and answer the call — to be ready to make a difference when it matters most.

Take the first step towards making a real difference. Join us as a Paramedic Specialist (link in bio).
