For many years now, New Zealand-born Fiona Baird has been bringing fun, fashion, and an incredible work ethic to her role as a stockwoman on live export shipments from Australia throughout Southeast Asia. Her story stands out because, despite the grit and grime of working with animals all day, she maintains her high style standards with well-done hair and bold red lipstick and a touch of chanel perfume. However, Fiona’s journey wasn’t always centered on live exports. She has lived a vibrant life, with many twists and turns since her childhood on a farm in the South Island of New Zealand, from a makeup artist in Melbourne to closing her eyes and pointing to a place on the Australian map landing her a job as a barmaid in Camowheel in QLD. In this episode we will also touch on greif, for Fiona it was loosing her father and we talk at length about the impact of what that has had.
