Kristin (Brawn)

Aviation Fire Fighter

Used to working under extreme pressure, Kristin is an Aviation Fire Fighter from Sydney, which means she’s on call to respond to any emergency at the airport from first aid to fuel spills to accidents and water rescue.

She says, “We are ready and willing to respond to anything. I love my job because it doesn't feel like a job. Every day you're rocking up at work and you don't know what you're going to be doing.

“I'll be utilising many of my workplace skills. Knowing how to relate to people, knowing how to act on my feet, working under pressure and just being physical.”

Kristin has travelled to every continent in the world and while backpacking on her own and making new connections, she found bonding with people easy thanks to her kind nature. But that doesn’t mean she’s a pushover.

Kristin says, “A common misconception about me is that my kindness is a weakness. I'm kind because I think it's nice to be kind, but if you don't deserve my kindness, I cut you forever.”
