Summary

I am currently a Senior Quarantine Officer at MPI with experience in the field of four years. Over the years I have experienced various pathways and the Biosecurity risks involved in these Pathways.

This includes the Cargo (Metro) space, The International Terminal Building (Airport) and the clearance of Imported Japanese Used Vehicles at the Port.

Due to exposure to various fields I have been able to risk assess various sites and their potential economical impact to New Zealand's Primary Industries.

I also have experience in coaching new Officers through taking them out on Cargo Jobs and at the Airport.
