πŸ“ Currently in Solomon Islands πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡§

From improving access to healthcare in Papua New Guinea, teaching Australian children first aid in schools, and now rebuilding the ambulance service in Solomon Islands, I've been privileged to travel the world while fostering resilience in the communities I've served.

Currently, I'm the Chief Executive Officer at St John Ambulance Solomon Islands β€” providing the nation's primary emergency ambulance service on behalf of the government β€” with the vision that all people in Solomon Islands receive quality, equitable emergency medical services whether in the busiest city or the remotest village.

Having been brought into ambulance services to drive system reform, I've tackled complex challenges and explored opportunities for expanding traditional models of care and delivery to drive better access, greater quality, and reduced costs β€” all leading to improved patient outcomes.

Recently, I've committed to pursuing my passion for data and digitalisation, using the power of data to drive more integrated and timely decisions, both operationally and strategically.

I'm always interested in discussing how we can adapt, improve, and sustain ambulance services, both now and into the future, and tackle the most pressing threats to health.
