About

Ex-Detective with intensive frontline experience in investigations, public protection, and intelligence gathering- with a specific interest in Operations, risk management, and corporate security. During my training, I completed street-level duties, neighbourhood investigations, and serious crime casework, gaining real-time exposure to how criminal behaviour unfolds. I passed the National Investigators' Exam, completed PIP2-accredited training, and earned a Level 6 Diploma in Professional Policing. These experiences developed my ability to assess risk, analyse patterns, interview and elicit information, and work across departments to resolve complex issues.I have also sought a membership with ASIS international with the hopes to get certification in the APP, PCI and PSP qualifications. My passion lies in preventing harm-whether to the public or to an organisation.
