About Me

I am a transformational educator, paramedic, and public health specialist with over 10 years of cross-disciplinary experience across academic, clinical, and research settings. I hold a Ph.D. and M.S. in Health Education & Promotion. Throughout my career, I have proven to be a leader in health programming, emergency medicine, K–12 and higher education, and policy-driven community initiatives. I excel in dynamic environments, engaging stakeholders, and improving outcomes through evidence-based strategies. My core competencies include health education and promotion, curriculum development and instruction, and emergency response and medical support. I am also skilled in program evaluation and public health research, academic and technical writing, and interdisciplinary collaboration. I am certified in CPR, BLS, and ACLS, and I have extensive knowledge of medical terminology and coding.
