I'm an Aussie currently serving as the Executive Assistant to Hospital Director on the Africa Mercy.. If you’d like to learn a little more about Mercy Ships [Bringing Hope & Healing – 3 min video]
I grew up in rural Queensland, the second eldest of 4 kids. Volunteering has been in my blood since I was around 17 and so has travelling the world. I strongly believe my calling in life is to volunteer and I have to admit Africa has stolen my heart.
Over the next 12 - 24 months, I'm preparing myself for lots of tears and hopefully lots of joy, love and laughter to balance it out, but mostly I'm grateful for the opportunity to contribute, even in a very small way, to changing people's lives.
