Description

Sarah Mackey is a mum of three, an emergency department doctor and and the deputy medical director at CareFlight, who came to Darwin on a six-week elective as a medical student but never really left. 


Her husband is a pilot with his own flight school business, who swiped right on her Tinder profile - the rest is history.


She’s traveled the globe doing some of the world’s most treacherous tracks, including making it to Everest Base Camp in the name of fun, and she almost didn’t make it as a doctor, coming close to choosing a career in the performing arts.


But despite hectic nature of her life, the Territory is the calming force she needs.
