A longstanding volunteer at Coastguard New Zealand, both locally and nationally, Rosie was an inspirational member of her unit, coordinating with other SAR agencies and emergency services during a full-scale SAR operation of a distressed vessel in March 2020 that saved the lives the entire crew. 

Rosie has been involved in maritime SAR since 2002, setting up and running a coastguard air patrol to service the maritime SAR needs of New Zealand’s upper South Island.

She transitioned to a role at Coastguard Nelson and has since become an instrumental member of the team, leading SAR training, exercises and best practices to ensure the unit is best prepared to save lives at sea.

She has also recently used her incident management skills to help in tackling a large-scale bush fire that threatened the homes and livelihoods of many people in New Zealand.
