Air Crew
As Air Crew, I am responsible for working with the pilot and my fellow Air Crew or Rescue Crew to conduct scheduled surveillance patrols looking for and taking action in response to different types of coastal hazards. I am responsible for safely dispatching rescue equipment or a Rescue Crew from the helicopter in response to an incident. I am also involved in ensuring we are “rescue ready” at all times in the event of tasking.
I primarily work on the South West Service.
Favourite WA Beach?
Waterfall Beach
Favourite holiday destination and why?
France, to visit family and friends.
What inspired you to join the Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter Service?
Seeing the helicopter fly over my head during open water swims made me feel safe. When I saw the opportunity to join the crew, I thought it’d be great to give that feeling back to others.
What motivates you to work for the service and help the community?
I spend a lot of my free time by the coast in summer, working as part of a team to help make it a safer environment for the WA community is a great and rewarding feeling.
What’s your hidden talent?
I can speak three languages.
Do you have any aspirations in aviation?
Personal interest only.
If you were stranded on an island what three things would you bring with you?
A helicopter, helicopter pilot and a good book for the flight home.
