I have a background of 12 years in the Ambulance Sector, working on the frontline, event medicine, rapid response, emergency medical dispatch and delivering training. I have achieved a bachelor’s degree in Paramedic Science. I also volunteer in my spare time to help progress current research articles by peer reviewing upcoming manuscripts for international journals and I have been fortunate enough to  published papers on Covid-19, effects of Vaccinations, Health Education and barriers to managing emergency paediatric patients in the prehospital setting.”
