I currently serve as the research & development coordinator for Austin - Travis County EMS in Austin, TX, USA. I also previously worked as a paramedic for ATCEMS for 13 years. I obtained my Master of Public Health degree with a focus in Epidemiology from University of Texas School of Public Health in 2017. I have about 4 years of experience in health services research in mostly hospital settings, and I have been working to establish a research program here at Austin - Travis County EMS for nearly 3 years. I also serve on the research committee for NAEMSP.
