I am passionate about supporting and empowering volunteers to provide the best outcomes for their communities.
 
I have spent 20 years working with, and actively involved with, volunteers in Surf Lifesaving Queensland before I joined the Rural Fire Service Qld and Woodhill Rural Fire Brigade in 2005. Over the past 11 years I have held roles of Secretary, Fire Warden and have been 1st Officer of Woodhill RFB since 2011. I am also a Deputy Group Officer in the Beaudesert/Logan Group. I have also held training officer positions in both SLSQ and RFS
 
I have been on many deployments within Qld for fire and flood responses and have also deployed to WA, TAS, NSW and VIC to support large fire campaigns. I have made many friends and built relationships with volunteers throughout QLD  while on these deployments.
 
I acknowledge the differences in brigades throughout the south coast region and I am committed to supporting brigades and their volunteer members.
