Sally Gould has been a paramedic for fourteen years and counting, and still finds joy in her self-proclaimed dream job. The professional and personal growth she experienced on the f rontline, and the journals she kept during her early years in the field, were the inspiration for her memoir Frog.

Her draft manuscript won the narrative non-fiction category in the 2023 ASA/CA Award Mentorship Program. When she’s not in uniform, Sally can be found tutoring paramedic students or immersed in her writing. She spends the rest of her days off nurturing herself through running, bushwalking, baking, attending theatre, and spending time with family and friends. Sally lives in Sydney with her husband and their two children.
