Jazzy has a had really interesting life and has a great story. Jazz is a proud Indigenous Australian and served 13 years in the NSW police force along with more recently starting her own business “Jarin Street” all the while being a mum and giving birth to 3 kids.

During our chat we talk about her life and were it all started and what it was like for her as a police officer and dealing with different issues within the police force, also some of the struggles of perception from some of her family with the decision to become a cop. 

We touch on modern day issues like Black Lives Matter and the recent protests and also some of the changes she would like to see in our society and also school system

My chat with Jazz was super enjoyable and also really inspiring, I personally think her story is really inspiring and is a great role model to other women and indigenous Australians also.
