Mercer University has produced quite a list of notable alumni
throughout the years. Names such as Ferrol Sams, Griffin B. Bell and
Nancy Grace have all graced the headlines in areas such as
literature, politics and television.
Though these Mercer alumni have been making their way in the world
for quite some time, recent graduates of the university have also
made a significant impression and have held positions of high
importance in our local community.
Amy Abel-Kiker, class of 2010, is proof that a Mercer education and a
strong work ethic can land you a job of high importance.
Abel-Kiker is currently the Public Relations Director at Middle Georgia
Ambulance in Macon, and works closely with the local community
and the media on a daily basis. She is a young professional under the
age of 25 and proof that there is hope for recent graduates in today’s
job market.
Along with constructing informative press releases, communicating
with the media and working closely with a dedicated team of
dispatchers, Abel-Kiker has also planned CPR workshops and has
taken the extra steps to keep the community informed about how to
take action in emergency situations.
The latest event Abel-Kiker has planned for Middle Georgia
Ambulance is a community health day that is not only free of charge
for the public, but also a great opportunity to encourage individuals to
stay active for life.
Heart disease, stroke and childhood obesity are all relevant issues
that are frequently present in today’s society. Middle Georgia

2. Ambulance has taken the extra step to provide a fun and interactive
environment in Tattnall Square Park on April 17 from 1:30 to 3:30
p.m.
Abel-Kiker has even incorporated aspects of her alma mater into the
workshop by inviting Mercer University’s men’s basketball team to
make an appearance and conduct enjoyable basketball drills for
children at the health day in order to encourage sports participation
and active lifestyles.
Middle Georgia Ambulance will also have paramedics on site to offer
free blood pressure and wellness checks to all adults who attend the
event.
While studying at Mercer, Abel-Kiker served as the President of the
Student Government Association, was an active member of Phi Mu
and was one of the most recognized and respected students on
campus. Her lasting impression and dazzling smile still grace the
local Macon community.
Abel-Kiker is living proof that a Mercer education and a lot of hard
work can help you succeed in designing a life you truly love.
“After spending four years at Mercer, I felt very prepared and
incredibly excited to start my career. Macon is such an outstanding
place to be a young professional and I am so thankful that I was able
to stay here and start life,” Abel-Kiker said.
Abel-Kiker is married to Chris Kiker, a 2010 graduate of Mercer. She
has a pet pig named Thomas and lives in the historic district.
