Summary

I was a employee of NPWS FOR 20 years starting at Mungo National Park as a Senior Field Officer for eight years then moving to Cobar on secondment as a Field Officer, then I went back to my original role and later successfully applied for the Field Supervisor position at Cobar. I left this role in October 2025 to take up a position with Wongiabon Land Council as Ranger Coordinator where I remained until May 2026 having prematurely retired. My time at Cobar I was the senior officer tasked with transitioning Cobar staff through two restructures.
