As an Applied Psychologist and Program Director, my career has been dedicated to transforming challenges into impactful opportunities, particularly in health education and behavioral interventions. I specialize in architecting cutting-edge programs and strategies that elevate educational standards and foster significant organizational transformations. The cornerstone of my approach lies in active community engagement. By nurturing robust relationships with community leaders and key stakeholders, I have successfully revitalized underperforming education programs, surpassed challenging objectives, and improved student employment prospects. However, my role has been broadened beyond the strategic planning realm. I'm equally comfortable in the field as a Critical Care Flight Paramedic. This hands-on experience enables me to infuse my work with practical, real-world insights, ensuring that our strategies are pioneering and practical. My professional journey—from reshaping the educational framework to setting new industry benchmarks in animal behavior through my own enterprise—has consistently revolved around catalyzing change, devising efficient solutions, and promoting professional development. Major accomplishments in my career: - Spearheaded the revitalization of a struggling fire and EMS education program, nurturing a professional shift and mentoring educators to foster continuous improvement. - Exceeded targets by implementing a five-year plan in 18 months, achieving this through conscientious budget management and robust systems design. - Fostered strong community relationships, contributing to a 50% increase in student employment during and post-course completion. - Designed and implemented a diverse range of educational programs for EMS and fire industry professionals, contributing to the upskilling of practitioners at all levels. - Developed a pioneering ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) program, streamlining the response to cardiac emergencies throughout the UF Health system. - Founded Applied Behavioral Solutions, Inc., setting industry standards in animal behavior processes and outcomes while serving over 100 veterinary clinics.
