About


I am a passionate, understanding and positive individual, which people often describe my attitude and personality as contagious. I have experience in the disability and healthcare sectors. Additionally, I have done various volunteer roles, casual Government Jobs, been a voice for the youth and LGBTIQU+ community at Headspace Wollongong and have been a proactive community member within the Illawarra. I have undertaken my Cert IV in Mental Health Peer Work and am currently undertaking my Cert III in Individual Support. I love making a difference to people's lives and love seeing them accomplish goals, no matter how big or small! I have alot of patience and understanding and feel I would be the perfect fit for this role. ^& ^&I can share my hobbies in health, fitness and outdoors. I would show any potential clients of the benefits of being in nature and how fitness can be so much more than just walking!^&
