Summary

I enjoy working in Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) because I care about people and ensuring their safety, while contributing to a safe and inclusive workplace culture. My comprehensive experiences as a medic of ten years in the New Zealand Defence Force, inspired my strong passion for OHS. My most recent role as an Environmental Health Technician has provided invaluable insight into OHS, EH and preventive medicine. Having recently graduated in the field of OHS, I am ready to apply my knowledge and experience to improve Workplace Health and Safety and Quality Management Systems.
