Summary

I possess a high motivation to develop myself not only personally but also professionally. My objective to deliver operational excellence has motivated me within my current career line to pursue significant roles of responsibility that sit in the high-risk framework within my scope. Through position appointment and or delegated responsibility I have been fortunate enough to gain proficiency in a wide range of hard skills as well as exposure to delivering a response capability for significant high-risk incidents. Within my current career I have also been an instructor of various hard skills, demonstrated firearms proficiency and maintained a high level of operational readiness. I possess the drive and have the aspiration to develop my career and broaden my scope. My employment history suggests my commitment and I am currently following my desire to progress to a new opportunity.
