Affiliations

  • With over a decade of dedicated service in both Victoria and Queensland police forces, I have cultivated a deep understanding of the demands and challenges faced by those in high-pressure, shift-based roles. My career in law enforcement has been marked by a steadfast commitment to fitness and health, both personally and professionally. This commitment led me to complete my Certificate III and IV in Fitness and a CrossFit Level One qualification. Leveraging this extensive experience and specialised training, I have now launched my own online personal training business. My focus is on creating tailored fitness programs specifically designed for shift workers, drawing on my first-hand knowledge of their unique lifestyle challenges. This venture is not just a business for me; it's a way to empower and support my fellow shift workers in achieving their health and fitness goals.
