I've spent more than 20 years in fire and rescue, medical rescue, and emergency services, including long-term remote-site work with International SOS.

At International SOS, I managed a clinic in Erbil, Iraq, overseeing clinical operations, medical staffing, logistics, emergency response, quality, budgets, and multi-site teams.

I also served as a remote-site paramedic in Nasiriyah and Baghdad, supporting emergency medical response, occupational health, risk assessment, and duty of care in oil and gas environments.

Earlier, I led firefighting operations at Airports Company South Africa and served as a senior firefighter at //Khara Hais Municipality. My background is supported by NEBOSH qualifications in oil and gas operational safety and occupational health and safety management.
