Summary

Born in Ireland and moved to Australia as a chef 1989 . My first job was on Dunk Is, followed by Heron, Bedarra and 8 years living on Great Keppel Island. Where I turned my attention to moving into a new career working on the GBR, obtaining my PADI Dive Instructor and Coxswain Tickets. Now working full time on vessels that champion marine conservation.

Currently looking for a role closer to home where I can utilise all my qualifications and experience and assist in the protection and management of the beautiful Capricorn Coast.
