Hannah is thrilled to be joining The Top Ender Magazine. Growing up in the Top End, both in urban and remote areas, she has a deep connection to the Territory. Having been a defence spouse for over 10 years and a proud mother of two young children, she is thrilled to be back in Darwin with her family. With a Bachelor of Communication and Marketing, Hannah brings a wealth of experience from working with multiple Northern Territory organisations and businesses. Enthusiastic and motivated, she looks forward to working at The Top Ender Magazine, sharing her love for defence and this unique part of Australia. 

Viv has enjoyed her beginning as a committee member and Graphic Designer for The Top Ender whilst Emma took a much needed break with family. Now she is excited to transition into the role of Community Coordinator alongside Hannah, and is looking forward to seeing what they can achieve in the role together.

Viv and her husband have been enjoying Defence life together for over 15 years and understand the unique challenges and benefits associated with it. This determined mother of two homeschools her girls and fills the rest of her time with music, reading and cross stitch. She loves to explore the Top End and can’t wait to share her family’s experiences and favourite camping spots with you all.

As an Army Veteran who manages her own career coaching and wellbeing business, Deb is focused on managing projects for the Defence/Veteran community, while also balancing motherhood. She also has a Bachelor of Behavioural Science and is an Army Reservist for Smart Soldier Magazine.

Emma is an experienced Marketer, with skills in graphic design, media and public relations. Her passion for journalism and creativity brought her to The Top Ender. She also freelances as a marketing consultant, giving her the flexibility to work around Defence life and her 6 year old daughter.

Paul is a new edition to our ranks, bringing with him plenty of experience from his role in Defence. As a serving member, Paul's skills and unique viewpoint make him a valued addition to The Top Ender.

With a career spanning 20 years, RAAF veteran Georgia Usher spent much of her time in the Top End. With Diplomas in Finance Broking, Business (Auditing) and remedial Massage, Georgia held the position of DFA Delegate until relocating and undertaking the role of Treasurer – her way of “giving-back where I can”. Georgia’s wealth of Defence and financial knowledge is a huge asset to the Top Ender. 

As a qualified life coach, military spouse and successful businesswoman, Char has brought enthusiasm and a 'can-do' attitude to The Top Ender. Her warm personality and great organisation skills make for an amazing member of our team.
