Career Highlights

The year after I graduated high school at Broome Senior, I joined the Broome Volunteer Fire & Rescue service, following in the footsteps of my dad.

I was a volunteer firefighter for 8 years and wanted to make firefighting my full-time career. After a very long and competitive recruitment process, I was accepted into the trainee firefighter school and graduated as a ‘Career Firefighter’ in November 2019.

I am now a full-time firefighter based in the south metro area of Perth and am loving every moment of it.

Favorite Part of Role

Being a part of a team that the community calls on when they need help—and the look of relief people have when we arrive.

Personal Inspiration

I’ve always been surrounded by hard-working people, especially my parents, and if it wasn’t for my Dad being involved in the Broome Volunteer Fire & Rescue Service for so many years, I wouldn’t have found this career path.
