Education

  • Master of Education, Queen’s University
  • Honours Bachelor of Science, University of Toronto
  • Advanced Care Paramedic Diploma, Durham College
  • Primary Care Paramedic Diploma, Durham College

My work focuses on clinical reasoning, paramedic standards of care, assessment design, and systems level improvement in prehospital medicine. I bring together frontline experience as an Advanced Care Paramedic with academic leadership in paramedic education and health sciences programming.

Across clinical, certification, and academic roles, I have worked on curriculum development, assessment validity, continuous medical education, quality improvement, and accreditation-aligned program review. That combination supports practical, evidence based interpretation of clinical decisions, documentation, and professional standards in the prehospital setting.

Professional Activities

My professional activities include peer reviewed publications in simulation and paramedic education, conference presentations and invited talks on paramedic education and clinical practice, peer review for healthcare and paramedicine journals, and participation in working groups and accreditation processes related to paramedic education and certification.

This work extends beyond classroom and consultation settings. It includes scholarly review, funded educational projects, examination development, accreditation processes, and ongoing collaboration with sector partners involved in curriculum, certification, and quality improvement.
