HALL OF FAME

I volunteered for 4 years at the Parramatta unit. I enjoyed my time at the NSW SES so much that I have pursued a career with NSW SES in the Sydney Western Region office as the Community Engagement Coordinator, now I have a job that I love, working with a bunch of people that I love, and I’m still able to volunteer in my spare time.

Why did you join the NSW SES? 

I wanted the opportunity to make a difference in my local community. My husband and I joined together to have fun, make new friend and learn new skills and to do something together that didn’t involve our children something just for “us”. I have a 5yr daughter and 2yr old son. 

What is your favourite part about the NSW SES? 

• Feeling part of a huge family of volunteers. 
• The sense of achievement that what we do does make a difference in people’s lives. 

What skills have you learned along the way? 

Storm damage, Flood boat, Level 3 Flood rescue operator (first female in the State) leadership, trainer, media, social media, community engagement, public speaking, operations.
