I've been a paramedic for almost 8 years, with experience in the UK working for the NHS and back home here in Melbourne with Ambulance Victoria who is my current employer. I have a special interest in pushing and expanding the paramedic field into community models of care, which motivated me to self fund my Masters of Paramedic practitioner degree. I currently also work for Monash University (through secondment) where I am a lecturer/unit co-ordinator for the undergraduate Paramedic degree.
