Michael McClean
Paramedic, Firefighter, and Creative in Canberra ACT, Australia
G'day.
My name is Michael, but lots of people call me Mick.
I'm a Dad to a young family, who challenge me and make me a better person daily.
I do lots of things. Too many things. But I'm a lifelong dabbler, tinkerer, learner and do-er. If you're interested in any of those things, they include;
Work
I'm a Paramedic & Paramedic Clinical Educator here in Canberra, Australia. I'm also a Sessional Academic and Researcher in the Tertiary Education world, and do some RTO private work and even now private consulting (yikes). I've done some conference and keynote speaking, as well as tutoring as well.
Volunteer
I'm a Volunteer Firefighter with both the ACT and NSW Rural Fire Service's. I've been doing it since I was 14. I like to joke that I can't leave because I never learned how to make friends anywhere else… but thats not the only reason I don't.
Creative
I used to get paid to make Videos and shoot Photos. It's partly how I got through Uni. I'd like to do more again. I also founded and ran a business creating softgoods (backpacks, specifically) for the Australian Emergency Services sector. So I guess that is some product design experience, somehow.
If any of these things sound like something you'd be interested in chatting about, there are some links below. I'm sure you can work them out.
