"I started my Ranger journey as a Trainee back in 2008 in Port Hedland. From there it took me to Far North Queensland and now back to the Wheatbelt in WA.

I enjoy this type of work as it allows me an opportunity to maintain a safer and more enjoyable community for all and see some beautiful parts of our state."
