Australian Defence Medal
I was born on Dharug land and grew up in Penrith for the majority of my life, however I’m a proud Yorta Yorta man on my Grandfathers side. I am the second youngest out of my five siblings, the third to graduate Year 12 and the first of my generation to join the Australian Defence Force. In 2018, feeling adrift I made the bold decision and enlisted in the ADF as an Aviation Firefighter and was posted to No 22 Squadron (22SQN) at RAAF Base Richmond, fulfilling a sense of purpose while serving my country.
