Episode 9 - Joanne Marchildon

Firefighting runs in the family and so does a strong work ethic and seeing yourself as a part of your community. Joanne has been paying it forward and giving back throughout her life and the years so far in her Firefighting career are no exception. From helping get her Department's Peer Support Team up and running to working with the support group for all First Responders, Wings of Change, to sitting on the board of directors and climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro for the non-profit organization Mom2Mom Africa in support of the children of Arusha Tanzania. She most recently has ventured back to school to become a Life Coach to help fill the gap to support First Responders moving forward after experiencing work-related traumatic events. http://wingsofchange.wixsite.com/wingsofchange http://www.mom2momafrica.ca/
