With over 30 years of international experience in challenging environments, I bring practical knowledge and proven expertise to every safety course I teach. As CEO of Safer Edge, a UK based risk management company, I lead risk management and training initiatives that translate complex security concepts into actionable strategies for travellers worldwide.
My work has taken me to Sudan, South Sudan, Pakistan, Ukraine, and Southeast Asia giving me firsthand experience managing humanitarian operations and developing safety protocols that protect people in high-risk settings. This frontline experience informs my teaching approach—I share real-world scenarios and solutions tested in the real world.
My Approach
I believe safety education should balance expertise with practical application. My courses empower you to make smart decisions about your personal security, whether you're a student on a gap year or a professional.
What drives me is seeing that moment when a security concept clicks—when you realise you have the tools to take control of your own safety. I'm passionate about making security accessible to everyone, regardless of background or experience level.
As the author of "Staying Safe on Your Gap Year" and a TEDx speaker on security topics, I'm committed to creating an engaging learning environment where your questions and experiences contribute to our shared understanding of staying safe wherever we are in the world.
