Award & Recognition
Why First Aid Matters to Me
I've personally performed CPR in the workplace as a First Aid Officer. I know what it feels like to be in that moment — and that’s why my training is real, practical, and focused on action, not just theory
With mobile-friendly pre-course work, fast certification, and small group face-to-face delivery, I make sure you’re confident and capable when it matters most.
My Journey
When I became the Training Officer in the volunteer Coast Guard in Cairns, it was my mission to reintroduce first aid training to support our members, so I embraced the role and became the First Aid Trainer. I went on to become a first aid trainer in the State Emergency Service and then to establish my own training business.
The range of courses that I have delivered demonstrates my versatility, I have worked for Registered Training Organisations, with courses delivered around Cairns, the Cape, and Victoria. I have taught classes in literacy, numeracy and digital skills at Yarrabah and Edmonton.
My approach as a trainer is to keep it simple to build the skills and capabilities of every learner. I'm also passionate about knowing how to make the best use of technology (including AEDs) and government support services in an emergency or first aid incident when you are responding to a sudden injury or injuries.
