As a curious child, he was fascinated by soldiers and emergency responders, always watching them closely to see how they provided first aid.

2.Become a prehospital care operator
"My decision to be a pre-hospital operator was due to the fact that, as a result of a violent event, I had to have the need to know what to do in the event of such an event, since on that afternoon in October 2018, on my return home, I was attacked by unknown personnel with a firearm. Fire and when repelling the aggression, I realized that a person was injured, and with my minimal knowledge at that time, he gave me the guidelines to be able to attend to him, and from there arose the need to improve day by day in matters of security and prehospital care since it is an obligation that someone who is in the security field must complete their training.
After an attack and not knowing what to do in front of the injured and it was my decision to be a medical operator."

3.TECC and Rhino Rescue
"My experience with Rhino Rescue was first of all interested in knowing the quality of the tourniquets. The first Ifak I bought was in June 2022 and I was convinced of the quality that it has. From there, in Medical Backpacks, I have tourniquets and different supplies. Similarly, the brand in my new courses implements that the general population and in the field of security and emergency care are aware of the quality of all the materials offered by the brand."
Throughout his journey, Yonnatan discovered Rhino Rescue, a brand committed to providing top-quality medical equipment. Intrigued by their offerings, he delved deeper into their products and purchased his first Individual First Aid Kit (IFAK) in June 2022. The exceptional quality and reliability of Rhino Rescue's equipment convinced Yonnatan to incorporate their supplies into his TECC courses. Through Rhino Rescue's support, he was able to equip operators with superior IFAKs, ensuring they had the necessary tools for successful operations.
