“Joining the Army at 38, I have found it to be the most rewarding job. I am proud to put my uniform on everyday and tell my children about the history of what this uniform means. I am proud to wear this uniform both as a proud Indigenous Woman and Mum. I pay my respects to every member that has served before me and hope to pave a strong pathway for those who follow.”
