How Protective Wisdom Came AboutSharing my journey with you!
“I empower individuals to safeguard their safety and well-being, addressing critical security gaps with my expert guidance—a rare chance to gain personalized, hands-on support from a seasoned professional.”
My Story
I grew up on a large farm in New Zealand, where I gained a wealth of skills and experiences that have carried me throughout my life. Life on the land was both a privilege and a testament to hard work and dedication. Risks were constant—unpredictable weather, animals, machinery, and isolation—yet it was here that I learned the importance of common sense, proper planning, and the successful execution of tasks.
After finishing school, I pursued a Bachelor of Commerce at University. Upon completing my degree, I moved to Australia, where I’ve now spent over half my life. During my 20s, I was on a mission to explore and learn as much as possible. I embraced opportunities to live in various locations, travel overseas, and immerse myself in diverse experiences. It was a time of growth and discovery, driven by my desire to broaden my horizons and expand my understanding of the world.
In my 30s, while raising my children, I embarked on a transformative journey that redefined my purpose. Driven by a desire to make a tangible difference, I entered the field of security and set my sights on becoming a bodyguard. This marked a turning point in my life. I dedicated myself to rigorous study, physical training, and mastering skills that empowered me both personally and professionally. Martial arts became integral to this journey, teaching me the discipline, resilience, and inner strength necessary for success.
As I immersed myself in the security industry, I aimed to become a qualified Security Officer across various categories. My experience in the field has been diverse and has honed my ability to handle high-pressure situations with precision. Working as a security professional requires an exceptional understanding of human behavior—reading body language, predicting actions, and using de-escalation techniques to manage conflict. My role involves crafting strategic solutions to prevent and manage escalating situations, demonstrating mental fortitude and composure under circumstances most people would shy away from. Exposure to such intense scenarios has cultivated my ability to remain calm, focused, and effective under pressure.
Throughout my personal and professional journey, I’ve faced numerous challenges and traumatic events. Instead of allowing these experiences to define me, I’ve chosen to persevere with resilience, using them as fuel to shape my growth. These life experiences have become a cornerstone of the strength and understanding I bring to every situation I face.
