OSA (Outdoor Safety Academy)WFR lead Instructor
Jan. 2021world wideAs a Wilderness First Responder (WFR) Instructor, my role is to equip individuals with the skills and confidence needed to handle medical emergencies in remote environments. I train adventurers, outdoor professionals, and expedition teams in essential wilderness medicine techniques, from patient assessment and trauma management to evacuation strategies and environmental emergency response.
