Coursework & scholarship
A Journey of Challenge, Interrogation, and Transformation
This project began with footage. I was reviewing recordings of students who had failed a scenario test, and I did not agree with the results. The students I watched were not failures. At first I blamed the marker. This course changed that. I now believe the grading tool was the problem, not the person using it. The tool gave no space for a student who recovered from an error a little too late, or for one whose clinical decision-making was still developing exactly as you would expect at that stage. What follows is where that realization took me.
A digital composition of learning on rethinking assessment in paramedic education, from the back of the ambulance to the front of the classroom.

A reflective media review examining Richard Wagamese’s Indian Horse through the lens of cultural safety, and what it asks of educators preparing clinicians to care across difference.

My scholarship sits where frontline practice meets adult education. After nearly two decades as a paramedic, I now design how an entire cohort of future paramedics learns and demonstrates competence.
This portfolio gathers the graduate coursework behind that shift: studies in assessment, diversity, and the culture of clinical education. Each project shows the learning at work.
