With a decade of rich experience in healthcare, he has applied his knowledge in various contexts, enhancing practices both within Canada and abroad. Additionally, Justin is the co-host and co-creator of the ‘UCalgary Mindfulness’ podcast, which offers valuable mental health and wellness resources to a broad audience.
In addition to his academic work, Justin is also active in the spheres of governance and leadership, having served in various roles such as Chair of the Nursing Graduate Students’ Association (NGSA) at the University of Calgary, department representative for the Faculty Association, member of the Graduate Student’s Association Judicial Review Board, and a three year term with Red Cross Disaster Response Team.
In 2019, Justin joined the council of the College of Registered Nurses of Alberta (CRNA), where he has participated in significant governance reforms. Collaborating closely with fellow council members, Justin contributed insights as Chair of the Nominating Committee from 2020 to 2022. Together, they guided the transition from an election-based to a competency-based board and committee selection process. Now, as the current council chair, Justin continues to work alongside his colleagues to focus on the educational development of council members, the implementation of good governance practices, and the enhancement of leadership training.
