Work School Hours - New Zealand Army Veteran

Women of the Military - A podcast by Amanda Huffman - Tuesdays

Ellen served in the New Zealand Army. When she was nine years old she saw a recruiting campaign by the military and it convinced her to join. And she stuck to that plan through school.  She went to her officer training in Australia at the Australian Defense Force Academy. She made a lot of friends during school and when she started off her career she didn't really know anyone in the New Zealand Army and may of her close friends from military life are Australians. She served as an Engineer Officer. We also discussed her transition out of the military and how it led to the work she is doing today.
