Hi everyone, I am at the end of paramedic school and feel like I am at the start still. I need confidence in what I've learned.

Hello everyone — glad to be here. I recently retired after about 30 years in EMS, serving as both a paramedic and EMT instructor, and later running an EMS education program for a state fire academy. Over the years I’ve been involved in everything from street-level response to curriculum development, instructor training, and continuing education. My academic background is in instructional design and course delivery, so I’ve always been particularly interested in how we teach medicine—not just the content, but the methods we use to help providers actually retain and apply what they learn. These days I spend a lot of time working with peer support programs and responder wellness initiatives, and I still enjoy contributing to conversations around EMS education, leadership, and the long-term sustainability of people in this profession. Looking forward to learning from the group and contributing where I can.

I am an Advanced Care Paramedic from Alberta, Canada that has practiced 17years with origins in rural ground EMS(10yrs) and now fixed wing critical care for the past 7. I have a deep passion for continuing education and I'm privileged at work to be surrounded by many like-minded individuals. In the past, I have been an EMS instructor at one of the academies that I took my initial training through and presently I work with our work-place educator to facilitate training of our roster. I'm excited to join the learning environment here as we share our knowledge and experience.
