18 years as a Paramedic and Firefighter in both the civilian and military communities, I have a vast degree of experience in diverse areas of expertise. I’ve been employed as an Educator; have facilitated various workshops including Critical Incident Stress Management, CQI programs, Suicide Awareness and multiple Emergency Medical responder programs. Creating safe environments through strategic collaboration has been a focus of mine for the majority of my career. I have led a stakeholder group in the creation and implementation of the maintenance of competency program for 100 Military paramedics which included the development and negotiation of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Department of National Defense and Royal Victoria Hospital.
Connecting people and collaborating towards shared solutions is a cornerstone of my career. Over the last 10 years, I have helped shift the Canadian Red Cross from a routine, workplace compliant training agency into a solution provider and partner in creating safe environments.
Fundamentally, I believe that educational outcomes must focus on activities and interventions that are relevant and meaningful to the learner to achieve successful outcomes. As such, I have lead the creation of a new curriculum employing case-based learning focused on individuals and populations’ mental wellness. Already in the first year of implementation, the new curriculum is transforming health outcomes across urban and rural communities throughout Canada.
