I am the Education Coordinator for CMCC’s simulation lab and was a past instructor in the departments of Clinical Diagnosis, Clinical Education, and Chiropractic Therapeutics. My primary instructional roles are teaching technique, therapeutic modalities, and providing students with clinical simulations. Along with completing my chiropractic degree, I earned a master’s degree in Health Studies along with completing a certificate program in health care simulation education. Along with my instructional workload I am an active researcher involved in spinal manipulation training, and simulation education. My research activities have led to several publications, multiple workshops at international conferences, along with providing numerous platform presentations. My research has contributed to the invention, trademark and patent of the Force Sensing Table Technology (FSTT™), and the Human Analogue Manikins (HAM™) used in the Simulation Lab and sold internationally.
