Tahlia Funnell

As a passionate educator with a background as a registered paramedic, Tahlia brings a wealth of experience to Victoria University's First Year College.

With a recent completion of a Master of Epidemiology, Tahlia continues to encourage and educate future paramedics, instilling the importance of not only clinical excellence but also a deep understanding of the broader factors influencing health outcomes.

Tahlia aspires to leverage their unique perspective and diverse skill set to contribute significantly to student experiences and education, evidenced-based paramedicine and public health initiatives. She is particularly motivated to educate about pressing healthcare challenges, with a focus on understanding and mitigating health inequalities.

Tahlia endeavours to bridge the gap between the paramedicine sphere and the broader landscape of public health, driven by the desire to create lasting positive change in healthcare outcomes.
