High-Angle Specialist, Outdoor Instructor & Safety Professional

I am an experienced high-angle specialist, outdoor instructor, and safety professional with a background spanning specialized arboriculture, technical rope access, and outdoor leadership. I combine hands-on field expertise with advanced instructional skills to deliver safe, high-standard recreational and technical outdoor programs.

As a certified Tree Climbers Malaysia Trainer and member of the Global Organisations of Tree Climbers, I specialize in canopy navigation, complex rigging systems, and tree-climbing mechanics. My outdoor leadership portfolio is backed by qualifications as an Outrec 1 graduate, CCA Recreation Instructor, CCA Coordinator, and Camp Supervisor, along with affiliate status with ICF Camping. 
Complementing my recreational background is a strong technical foundation in high-risk operations and emergency response. I hold **IRATA Level 1** rope access certification, **MCRC Level 2** high-angle training, and specialized **SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape) Civil Defense** training.
Whether I am directing camp operations, training climbers, or managing risk in technical terrain, my focus is on bridging the gap between adventure sports, urban forestry, and professional safety management.
