7 questions<br />
TO GET TO K<strong>NOW</strong> JENNIFER MOON<br />
1. What’s a typical day like for you?<br />
What I love about my work with Guide Dogs<br />
NSW/ACT is that I DON’T have a typical work<br />
day! My current role is to work with external<br />
stakeholders to help improve access, and<br />
to ensure people who are blind or have low<br />
vision can maintain their independence when<br />
navigating their physical environment and the<br />
services utilised within it.<br />
One day I could be providing training to Taxi<br />
drivers, the next I could be providing a quote<br />
to media about access issues or education<br />
campaigns.<br />
2. Do you have any skills or talents that<br />
most people don’t know about?<br />
I grew up on a farm so I know how to ride<br />
motorbikes, drive a tractor and work in a<br />
shearing shed!<br />
3. Finish this sentence. On Sunday<br />
mornings, you can usually find me...<br />
In a sunny spot catching up on the week’s news,<br />
reading the newspaper.<br />
4. When you were 10 years old, what did<br />
you want to be when you grew up?<br />
I wanted to see more of the world. However,<br />
as a 10-year-old, I never envisaged that I would<br />
end up travelling to so many countries (60+)<br />
and continents (6 out of 7), and live and work<br />
overseas.<br />
5. What do you think are the best skills<br />
that you bring to your job?<br />
I love meeting people and learning more<br />
about them! I also love catching up with old<br />
friends. That’s why I love working with external<br />
stakeholders such as Taxi Council. The drivers<br />
come from all walks of life and have such rich<br />
and diverse backgrounds.<br />
6. What’s a goal you have for yourself that<br />
you want to accomplish in the next year?<br />
I’m really driven by my passion to ensure that<br />
people who are blind or have low vision are<br />
given the same opportunities and access as<br />
everyone else. Working closer with Taxi Council<br />
and drivers to help improve the Taxi service for<br />
everyone. Being a member of the newly formed<br />
Taxi Council Disability Advisory Committee is a<br />
good start.<br />
7. What would be your personal motto?<br />
Live life to the fullest (you never know what is<br />
around the corner) and be kind to others.<br />
