About
I am an experienced Operations Representative with more than 25 years of operational experience across the LNG, gas processing, chemical manufacturing, commissioning, start-up, and brownfield operating environments in Australia, Qatar, Oman, and Pakistan. Throughout my career, I have developed extensive expertise in plant operations, production optimisation, operational readiness, shutdown and turnaround (TAR) execution, commissioning, permit-to-work management, process safety, and competency assurance. My experience spans frontline operations, control room operations, and operational leadership, providing a comprehensive understanding of the technical, operational, and safety requirements needed to achieve safe, reliable, and efficient production.
Since 2022, I have been serving as an Operations Representative with Wheatstone Operations, supporting operational performance, plant reliability, and safe production delivery.

In my role, I act as the key interface between operations, maintenance, engineering, contractors, and project teams to ensure all work is executed safely and efficiently while maintaining plant integrity and production objectives.
My responsibilities include coordinating operational activities, supporting isolation planning, reviewing work packs and procedures, managing permit-to-work requirements, facilitating safe work execution, resolving operational challenges, and ensuring compliance with operational and process safety standards. A significant part of my career has been dedicated to developing people and strengthening operational capability. I have successfully trained, mentored, and coached Production Operators and Control Room Technicians, helping them develop the technical knowledge, operational discipline, and confidence required to operate hydrocarbon processing facilities safely and effectively.
I actively support competency development programs and foster a culture of continuous learning, operational excellence, and knowledge sharing. I am recognised for my strong operational leadership, practical problem-solving abilities, sound judgement, and calm approach in high-pressure situations. I consistently demonstrate a strong commitment to process safety, risk management, operational integrity, and Chevron's values, while supporting Zero Harm and Incident and Injury Free (IIF) objectives.
I value collaboration, inclusion, and building strong working relationships across multidisciplinary teams. Through effective communication and stakeholder engagement, I work to align priorities, support decision-making, and drive positive operational outcomes that contribute to overall asset performance. Looking forward, I am committed to continuing my professional growth as an
