Dharug/Worimi Tribes, Penrith/Port Stephens regions
Leading Aircraftwoman
Royal Australian Air Force

“I was born and raised on Dharug land in Penrith, although my Indigenous ancestry comes from my Grandfather who grew up on Worimi land in the Port Stephens Coastal region.

I enlisted in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) in January 2021 as a Supplier. Before enlisting, I participated in the Indigenous Youth Program (IYP) at RAAF Base Richmond where I had the opportunity to meet serving members as well as to understand what their jobs entail day-to-day. This was my inspiration to join the RAAF.

After enlisting I was posted to No 3 Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron at RAAF Base Richmond and have been on Exercises around Australia. I am currently posted to No 37 Squadron (Richmond) where I continue to grow and develop new skills within the Air Force and Logistics.”
