Career Focus
I believe strongly that education and training coupled with personal responsibility creates healthy,
happy and productive workplaces. I am studying a Bachelor of Occupational Health and Safety
Sciences (Honours), because of the direct real world applications across all job types. This passion
and drive has been my focus for many years and I apply it to everything I am involved in. This has
allowed me to develop an intensive knowledge across a range of areas such as; Law and Legislation;
Risk Management; Chemistry and Toxicology; Research, Evaluation and Analysis; Physiological and
Cognitive Psychology; as well as Anatomy and Physiology and Physical Ergonomics. My focus as I
progress through this field is to provide protection to both the employee and employer by
developing excellent skills to influence future decisions, operational procedures, compliance and
legislation.
