“I am a proud Kamilaroi girl. I grew up in Sydney, NSW and enlisted into the Australian Regular Army in June 2022. I spent 17 weeks doing Army Indigenous Development Program (AIDP) at Kapooka to get my Year 10 Maths and English equivalents. From then I went into Charlie company and finished the rest of my basic training. After I had finished basic training I went to Puckapunyal in Victoria to the School of Transport, where I began learning to drive defence trucks and vehicles. My job roles in the Australian Regular Army are Air Dispatcher and Parachute Rigger. I love both of those jobs. I enjoy coming to work every day where we do different tasks each day.”
