Published: February 22, 2023 Last Updated: February 23, 2023

Welcome Madelin and thanks for sharing with us

 

So let’s get deep and meaningful straight up

Q – How long have you been in Coolum Surf Life Saving Club and what motivated you to volunteer your time?

This is my 8^th of 9^th season. I’ve always been on to want to give back to community and a little bit of encouragement (aka pressure) from my partner made lifesaving the obvious choice when I moved to Coolum.

 

Q – Is your experience so far what you thought it would be?

Yes, pretty much. I spend most of my time in the tower and am enjoying some extra patrols at Peregian Beach this season helping our neighbours whilst they grow their club. I leave the “water” stuff to the young and energetic.

 

On a lighter side

Q – Where did you grow up? (Assuming you’ve grown up)

I grew up in Newcastle , NSW. We have some awesome beaches there too.

 

Q – What’s the best job you’ve ever had?

I worked with NSW National Parks & Wildlife in the 90s and early 2000s. There were definitely days I would have done my job for free! I’m a teacher now, in primary school, so never a dull moment.

 

Q – Any nicknames?

Maddy

 

Q – Any Hobbies?

Does mum’s taxi count? We are on the look out for a caravan , so some road trips soon I hope!

 

Q – Favourite Music/Musician/Band

My playlist is very diverse. My go to is Aussie Pub Rock, but I’ll listen to almost anything; classical to country, rock to reggae – anything really but not screamo or doof doof.

 

Q – Can you cook and what’s your favourite dish to prepare?

People say I can and everyone eats it, and cleans their plate. Healthy stir fry is my go to.

 

Q – Final & Life defining Question…. Pineapple on Pizza, Yes or No??

Yes! Get in an extra serve of fruit I say.

 

 (Yayy!)

 

Thank you Maddy
