Jenni McDonald
Broken Hill,New South Wales
Summary
I am a 35yr Old Yuwaalaraay woman from Goodooga, which is placed 60ks south of the QLD border. I am a mother of 4 and am very passionate about my kids, family and work. I have always wanted to work in the health industry since i was at school as I have seen so many of my family members becoming ill and even passing and not understanding the reasons why. I have always had a strong connection with the Aboriginal Community back home and ever since working within my current job i feel alot closer to the the community here in Broken Hill aswell. I have lived in Broken Hill for the past 12 years and have earnt the trust from several of the community members which makes me want to thrive and do more for them.
