Timothy Duguid
@timothyduguid
Wildland firefighter and reflexology therapist with first-aid training and a passion for nature and emergency support.
South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a South African, English-and-Afrikaans fluent professional who combines emergency readiness with hands-on care. I’m currently a 3rd year theology student at Christ Baptist Seminary in Polokwane, and I bring that same dedication into how I serve others.
I joined an emergency support team for wildland firefighting in July 2024, and I’m qualified as a Wildland Fire Fighter (Fire Boss 1 and 2). I’m also trained in First Aid Level 3 and have renewed my First Aid with Stop the Bleed certification.
Alongside emergency work, I’m a certified reflexology foot therapist, with training through Udemy Academy (including work with Dr Karen E Wells) and a Th ai reflexology certificate through Udemy Academy. I enjoy helping people feel supported, whether through care or urgent response.
I stay proactive and teach what I learn—creating adverts with Canva, editing for the emergency support team, and building content for my “Nature and Wildlife Guy” YouTube channel. I’m a fast learner with a friendly approach, and I genuinely love preserving nature and living outdoors.
