I hold a Master of Public Health from TECH Global University, building on years of real‑world experience in health protection, outbreak response, and operational resilience. My work combines academic training with practical, frontline insight from managing health risks in remote environments to supporting organisations through complex public‑health challenges.
Alongside my core public‑health practice, I advise on biosecurity and zoonotic‑risk management, helping teams understand how human activity, environmental pressures, and operational systems intersect. I’ve supported maritime, polar, and remote‑operations organisations to strengthen their biosecurity posture, develop clear escalation logic, and embed practical safeguards that protect both people and fragile ecosystems.
My approach is grounded in evidence, clarity, and calm leadership: turning complex risks into straightforward guidance that teams can act on with confidence.
