I am an aviation safety professional with current investigation experience and extensive operational flying experience across jet and turboprop environments.

In my current role as a Flight Safety Specialist, I investigate safety events, support operational follow-up, prepare technical safety reviews, and deliver safety seminars. My work requires sound judgement, clear written communication, and the ability to identify contributing factors and wider system risks in a practical and balanced way.

As an airline pilot and ATPL holder, I bring broad operational experience across regional and airline environments in New Zealand, Australia, Asia, and the South Pacific. My flying background reflects disciplined decision-making, professionalism under pressure, and a strong understanding of how procedures, human performance, and operational demands interact in the real world.

Across both safety and flight operations, I bring a practical, disciplined approach, strong professional standards, and a genuine commitment to contributing positively wherever I work.
