I am in the Fire emergency service Organisation. Professionally, I started out as an Emergency Response Specialist. Then later became a Hazmat Specialist before finally a Hazmat Section Commander. I was deployed to 2 Fire Stations in a period of 14 years in a heavy industrial area in my country. Currently, I'm facilitating and coordinating training at a training academy. Before I signed up as a firefighter, I studied engineering and worked as an assistant engineer in a plastic mounding company. But I realised it didn't colour my life enough. I was slogging to work doing regular hours and working with machines. I don't like it. My life was an adventure while working as a firefighter. While fighting fires and rescue, I continued my studies, I signed up part time for multimedia technologies and development, Islamic studies and finally doing my degree in security studies. I never stop learning. In between, I was in a band, doing recording, writing songs and performing gigs, got involved in voluntary work at events and local Mosques, doing videography and managing a Soccer team. I travel and I made lots of friends along the way. I realised I am intrigue by people and culture. I am active and busy, always meeting people, learning and trying new things.
