About Melody

I am a Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) and a Certified Clinical Anaesthesia Assistant (CCAA). I have worked in diverse areas of critical care medicine for almost 20 years with special focus in intensive care, prehospital and critical care transport and the operating room. My love for complex medical challenges brought me to the flight medicine world, where she worked as a critical care first responder flying into remote communities in Northern Canada. In my roles as a Clinical Educator for a large critical care transport company and a college professor, I have been involved in teaching and educating a wide range of medical professionals over the last decade at the post-secondary, post-graduate and professional level—specializing in paramedicine, critical care RN and physician mechanical ventilation training. My mission as a teacher is to simplify the “scary” topic of ventilation and respiratory physiology and present it to all medical professionals in an easy to understand and approachable way.
