I am a value-driven, dynamic and accomplished leader with a thorough understanding of the cultural, strategic, technical and management requirements of the pre-hospital healthcare, emergency and the aquatic industries. My ambition is to make a meaningful impact on the aquatic industry so as to lower the devastatingly high number of preventable in water deaths per year. I have spent the last eight years being a Professional Lifeguard and managing lifesaving services. Since starting my career I have had the opportunity to travel and work overseas in New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. These jobs challenged me to extend beyond my training in aquatic risk-based assessment and management and thus led me to develop skills in emergency healthcare and swift water, aviation and technical rescue. I am continuing to expand on this skill set with a diploma in paramedicine that is soon to be completed.
