I pay my respects to the traditional custodians of the peoples on the land in which I work.
Team Leader / Support Coordinator
Through my work as a disability support worker, I’ve witnessed firsthand the powerful and lasting impact that compassionate, person-centred support can have on someone’s life. Each experience has reinforced my belief in the value of genuine connection, consistency, and advocacy in this space. I’ve seen how the right support can empower individuals to overcome challenges, build confidence, and take meaningful steps toward their goals.

This combination of professional experience and personal insight fuels my passion for helping others build and strengthen their own networks, so they feel empowered to take control of their journey and shape the future they envision.
