Summary
FIFO professional with over two years’ experience working in high-stress, safety-critical environments. Alongside my primary FIFO role, I have volunteered for one and a half years as a Health & Safety Representative and currently serve as a Volunteer Peer Support Worker at Pindaric, providing informal mental health support, and encouragement for colleagues experiencing stress, fatigue, isolation, and personal challenges.
I am recognized for emotional resilience, calm and respectful communication, and the ability to build trust within diverse teams. I contribute to psychologically safe workplaces by promoting accountability, wellbeing, and early support in demanding FIFO settings, and I am seeking to continue developing my career within mental health and support-focused roles.
