Meet the tutors
First Aid (NZ) has maintained a group of professional staff committed to providing excellent, quality first aid support and training. FANZ personnel are passionate about what they do best. All Medic Staff and Facilitators have had previous employment in Emergency Response/ Care. They are highly experienced practitioners in their chosen field of expertise, regularly undertake learning development programmes to ensure the most current levels of proficiency and have successfully completed adult education qualifications.
The unique professional experience of each First Aid Facilitator allows them to develop empathy with their learners as well as co-construct a programme specific to the diverse needs of their students. Student feedback has been consistently favourable regarding the friendly, positive and supportive learning environment First Aid N.Z provides. First Aid N.Z values the opportunity to provide pro-bono First Aid and CPR education programmes to some sectors of the community e.g. Plunket, Parenting Programmes and has been committed to this for 14 years

Hi, my name is Monick.
I have been a First Aid instructor for 8 years.
Recently I became a qualified Counsellor.
I was in various Healthcare sectors for a number of years prior to joining First Aid New Zealand.
I enjoy my current line of work as it directly improves the world we live in.
In my classes I include practical scenarios including realistic injuries staged by participating students. These simulations greatly improve students confidence and are great fun!
In my spare time I enjoy the great outdoors.
I also like doing marathons and hiking and a bit of time at the beach is always good for the soul.
Preserve life, promote recovery.

My name is Janine Cullen. I have a Bachelor of Health Science and am a qualified adult educator with a career that started in Pharmacy and evolved into Clinical Neuro Muscular Therapy. I’ve been a First Aider since age 13, including onsite at events and a teacher since the 1990’s (with First Aid NZ ltd since 2014). Being active in First Aid situations and knowing how long an ambulance can take to arrive has made me a passionate first aid instructor.
