I have been involved in the public safety profession since 1987 and have been a Nationally Licensed Paramedic since 1990. I have had the privilege of working in various roles and capacities as an educator and a clinician in the United States and internationally as well as managing and coordinating specific medical and safety education programs for private and governmental organizations. My academic accomplishments include a Master of Public Administration in Emergency and Disaster Management degree (Honors), from Metropolitan College of New York; a Bachelor of Science in Homeland Security (Magna Cum Laude) from Columbia Southern University.
