At the tender age of 19, Nicholas Kliebert has already accomplished more than most dream of in a lifetime. A Valedictorian graduate of Quitman High School, Nick was also dual-enrolled at Louisiana Tech University, where he continues to pursue his passion in the Aviation Program. 

Nick’s drive to serve others became clear during his senior year in high school when he enrolled in the Jackson Parish Ambulance Service District (JPASD) Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Program in January 2024. Upon completing the course, he officially joined the JPASD family, all the while balancing a hectic schedule of full-time work and full-time college student. His commitment to the community didn’t stop there as he also volunteers with the Quitman Fire Department, giving of his time and talents to keep his neighbors safe. 

In January 2025, Nick advanced his Emergency Medical Service (EMS) career by beginning the Advanced EMT Program and the very next month achieved another incredible milestone by earning his pilot’s license. While continuing his studies in the Aviation program at Louisiana Tech, he somehow also finds the time to referee junior high and high school basketball games across local school districts. 

Nick has also stepped into the role of educator as he is a certified EMS instructor through the Louisiana Bureau of EMS, as well as an American Heart Association Basic Life Support Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (AHA BLS/CPR) instructor. He actively assists JPASD in training the next generation of EMS providers, sharing his skills, passion, and dedication with students in the classroom and skills lab whenever needed. 

His faith and service extend beyond EMS and aviation as he is an active member of the Hodge Baptist Church, where he serves in the church band, playing both the drums and occasionally the bass guitar. In his rare spare time, Nick enjoys flying, traveling, fishing, and spending time with friends. 

Nick is the embodiment of dedication, service, and excellence. The JPASD is proud to have him as part of the family and excited to see all the places this young man will go – both in the skies and in service to his community.
