Hi! This is my CV

St John Ambulance is England's largest first aid charity, providing medical cover at events, in communities, and in response to emergency calls in partnership with the NHS. From 2022 to 2025, we served as England's national Ambulance Auxiliary, meaning supporting pre-hospital emergency care delivery across NHS ambulance services all year round.

I qualified as an Emergency Ambulance Crew with St John in October 2022. Since then, I've worked on double-staffed ambulances in SWAST, SCAS, IOWAS and EMAS trusts. I've also formed part of the medical team at a variety of significant events, ranging from Manchester and Brighton Prides to the Great North Run and London Marathon, working alongside other healthcare professionals and providing leadership and mentorship to junior members of the team, such as our first aiders.

I regularly teach university First Aid Societies and other community groups as part of this role, differentiating content across an audience ranging from laypeople and schoolchildren to final-year medical students. I am also a qualified Cycle Responder, providing a fast-response capability to large events, with the ability to triage and treat patients without requiring a double-staffed ambulance response.

I served as a Student Trustee of SUSU - the University of Southampton Students' Union - in my final year of study at the University of Southampton. In this role I was responsible for ensuring the Union is operating in accordance with its policies, its objects and the law.

I worked with a Board composed of members with a wide range of multidisciplinary backgrounds, and oversaw the beginning of a broad-ranging governance transformation project. I sat on the Union's Audit and Risk Subcommittee of the Board, working alongside external auditors examining risks including financial, reputational, and safeguarding risks.

St John Ambulance is England's largest first aid charity, providing medical cover at events, in communities, and in response to emergency calls in partnership with the NHS. Student Volunteering Units in St John act as regular Event Services Units, and are trained and run to the same standard as any other adult unit.

As Unit Events Lead of the University of Southampton unit, my role was to manage the deployment to events of students at the university giving up their time to volunteer with St John, and ensuring we appropriately staffed our events. I was also responsible for the operational management of volunteers, together with the Unit Manager and Unit Training Lead.

In this role, my team and I grew our unit from a handful of volunteers to more than twenty, and successfully planned and delivered medical cover at numerous different events independently. This included Night-Time Economy medical provision in Southampton, providing out-of-hospital urgent and emergency care to service users overnight, preventing pressure on the statutory ambulance service and hospitals.

The UoS LGBTQ+ Society is the Students' Union society for students from gender and sexual minorities (GSMs). In my role as Technical Officer, I was responsible not only for digital infrastructure, but also for data protection, which is critically important in a society for GSM students.

As well as designing a new authentication system in PHP and Discord bot in Go, I worked directly with the Students' Union's leadership to create appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect members' data, establish the Society's legal relationship with the Union, and investigate options to inject member data into insurance "pools" without the Union itself having a record of their membership of the Society.
