Cooper said she doesn't feel like a hero, and that she was just doing her job. She said she's been at Athena for five years and has never had an experience like this in her life.
"At first I was startled, and then I was like, 'Oh no he's choking, his face is red,' that training really helped it was on spot, I'm just thankful that I was in there in the right place in the right time to save that child's life," Cooper said.
