Summary

I am a passionate aviator who thrives in small team environments under pressure. I have experience in a variety of organisations and operations from remote area rappel fire fighting to SAR and EMS. My current role as Crew Chief at Nautilus Aviation allows me to expand into not only the training environment but also a greater management, compliance, strategic planning and resource management to optimize operational efficiency. I thoroughly enjoy being part of a successful operation, highlighting efficient communication and a high level of skill set.
