In 2000 I joined Dublin Fire Brigade and Ambulance Service.<\/p>\n<p>My job in DFB has opened so many paths for me. I qualified as an Adult Educator and PHECC Tutor early in my career and in 2006 I completed the Advanced Paramedic programme. I have enjoyed the challenges of my operational career in Fire EMS to date and I decided a number of years ago to get involved in training.<\/p>\n<p>As a Paramedic Tutor, Haz Mat and RTC Instructor I have held the positions of syndicate officer, assistant and Course Director on recruit fire fighter courses. I am currently actively involved in officer development courses for RTC.<\/p>\n<p>Joining the ROI in 2014 I have assessed at national and international level. I qualified as an assessor with the World Rescue Organisation in Command \/ Technical \/ Medical and Trauma disciplines.<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to the challenges and experiences I will face in my new role as Director of Operations. I will use my experiences as an assessor, and I know I will continue to learn and develop as I work alongside people that share my interest and passion in helping others.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":45,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-53","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.5 -
