What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles leading occupational and corporate health programs where I can drive strategy, governance, team development, accreditation and measurable improvements in workforce wellbeing.

I am a workplace and corporate health leader with 14 years of clinical and administrative experience in mining, industrial and corporate environments. I deliver occupational and emergency health strategy formulation and implementation, lead high-profile incident investigations, and provide governance and assurance to executive teams and boards.

I have led occupational health systems, medical surveillance, accreditation efforts and national public/private health initiatives, including COVID-19 vaccination support. I mentor multidisciplinary teams, engage external subject-matter experts, and drive continuous improvement through policy development, performance monitoring and stakeholder collaboration.
