Joining the PADI EMEA team felt like a natural next step, allowing me to contribute on a broader level while continuing to support Members and promote consistency, professionalism, and quality throughout the PADI system. Having worked closely with PADI Centres and professionals in a variety of environments, I’m excited to support the wider membership and contribute to the continued development of PADI professionals and dive centres across the region.”
