About


I have a passion for supporting people to live the life they choose, to flourish and enjoy life. I have 5 years of experience as a support worker in the mental health and age care sectors, with experience both supporting individuals and facilitating groups. I have a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) degree from The University of Sydney. My main interests are music and creativity (being a guitar player), Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (which I teach weekly), reading and meditation, and bush walking and enjoying nature. I bring key skills in listening, compassion, respect, and connection, and have extensive experience coordinating services and supports for people through my prior support work roles.
