About me
My career has lived in the intersections between emergency medical services, data analytics, and education. Nineteen years ago, I took an EMT course and discovered the best profession and calling I could imagine. Working as a paramedic led me to teach paramedics, and I discovered how rewarding education could be. Nine years ago, I moved from working full-time as a paramedic in the field into an administration role, using my technology background to provide my agency with data analytics and quality improvement. This led to further leadership opportunities at a large EMS agency in the suburbs of Houston, where I was responsible for quality of care, clinical research, data analytics, field training programs, clinical practice guidelines, and both initial and continuing EMS education. Since 2023, I’ve led the Quality Management Division at the Dallas Fire-Rescue Office of the Medical Director and served as the EMS Quality Manager within the Parkland/BioTel system.
My core skill is finding answers to questions and solutions to problems, then teaching others to do the same.
What I Do
Data Analytics
My work focuses on leveraging data to drive better decision-making, improve quality, and achieve greater organizational efficiency. I am open to full-time and contract work and would love to help your organization find the hidden insights embedded in your data.
EMS Leadership
I am passionate about driving forward the quality of out-of-hospital emergency medical care. With nineteen years of industry experience, I help EMS systems succeed in improving patient care through operational leadership, quality management, and training.
EMS Education
Great patient care doesn’t happen by accident. Initial and continuing education are key to equipping EMTs and paramedics with the mindset, knowledge, and skills needed. My experience as an educator, program director, and advanced course coordinator can help your EMS education program succeed.
