A little of her story

Juno repaired a broken music box at Harbour House. Later, Felix gave her a workbench and asked her to teach him how she had done it.

Mechanical puzzles, Drumming, Repairing discarded toys.

Heavy-lift rescue craft

A yellow-and-cobalt craft with two ducted fans, precise rescue arms and a sturdy basket for helping people down safely.

What she’s learning: Pause, listen and test the idea.

Get to know Juno

Every rescue starts with a person.
These are a few of her favourite things.

A lovely day off

A basketball game in the yard, a new drum rhythm and one small thing to mend at her workbench.

She taps a little rhythm with her pencils when a tricky idea needs time to grow.

Something she keeps: The little bird music box she repaired at Harbour House.

“Little fixes. Big ideas.”
— Juno

How she got here

A friendship, a family and lots of practice.

First friends
Where did the music go?
A music box stopped playing at Harbour House. Juno looked closely and spotted one tiny gear out of place.
A family home
A bench to share
At Skylock House, Felix made room at his workbench. Juno brought her music box, and he asked her to show him how it worked.
Years of practice
Little lifts first
Bigger machines took many small tries. With Felix, she learnt to check, test and lift gently. Bumble's first passenger was a crate!
Ready together
A steady pair of hands
Now Juno uses Bumble to lift people to safety. She listens to her team and keeps every movement steady.
