Facilitated by Justin Brunner & Garrett MacLaren

You will learn, in beginner-friendly terms, how AI works, why it can be confidently wrong, and how to use it safely to build fire service lesson plans that match your department’s training style. You will practice a simple, repeatable workflow for feeding AI your own training inputs (SOGs/SOPs, objectives, staffing realities, local risks) and generating a complete lesson plan you can refine and deliver. You will also learn a practical “AI quality control” checklist to spot inaccuracies, unsafe assumptions, and policy conflicts, so AI supports your instruction without replacing it.

I am a lifelong learner, strategist, and creator who thrives on challenges in and out of the classroom. As the CEO of Decisolve, I unite my passion for problem-solving, user experience, and product development to help businesses grow and innovate. In parallel with my entrepreneurial work, I serve as the Coordinator and Professor of the User Experience Design program at Fanshawe College, as well as a Professor in the Interactive Media Design program, roles that have cumulated in 17 years of teaching experience.

My curriculum development and program mapping expertise allow me to shape transformative educational experiences that empower students and professionals alike. Outside of academia, I am a dedicated Volunteer Firefighter with the Municipality of Bluewater, holding Fire 1, Fire 2, Hazmat Awareness and Operations certifications, which exemplifies my commitment to teamwork, resilience, and community service.

When I’m not teaching, leading, or problem-solving, you’ll often find me exploring the great outdoors, honing my survival skills, enjoying nature, and embracing new challenges. My tattoos serve as reminders of the journey that has shaped who I am, reflecting personal milestones and the meaningful relationships I’ve built along the way.

At my core, I am driven by curiosity, collaboration, and a genuine desire to share knowledge, ensuring that every endeavour, whether personal or professional, contributes to a better future for those around me.
