An Artillery Gunner in Darwin has been a rewarding and at times very challenging experience, which has seen me involved in multiple large scale military training exercises working in conjunction with the United States Marine Core, to deploy and proficiently shoot medium artillery in a variety of situations. This has seen me develop not just as a soldier but as a person, in my ability to be self-sufficient and responsible for the outcomes of my training. Resilience and team work has strongly navigated my success in my brief but successful time in defence, and I believe has better positioned me as a person to take on adversity and challenges that will undoubtedly present themselves in my future endeavours.

I worked as a Landscaper during my time at school, both as a job on the weekends as well as during the school holidays. Landscaping was my first proper exposure to the value of money and hard work, teaching me to work as a team towards a common goal and hold myself accountable to the quality of work I did. Landscaping was a great introduction into developing a work ethic that incorporated social interactivity and communication along with physical rigour to achieve the best outcome. All of which positioned me in a more favourable light when I commenced my career in the ADF.
