About
My motivation to step into social care grew from a long-standing pull toward work that’s grounded in empathy, meaningful communication, and genuine human connection. I’ve always found purpose in supporting people through their day-to-day lives, creating calm, encouraging spaces where they feel understood and respected. Being able to offer steady support—whether through practical help or simply showing up with kindness—feels less like a career decision and more like a natural extension of who I am. At the same time, I bring a thoughtful, goals-oriented approach shaped by my diploma studies in youth work and community services. My learning in trauma-informed care has strengthened my ability to respond with sensitivity, awareness, and a focus on each client’s unique strengths. I aim to blend warmth with professionalism, working alongside individuals as they build confidence, grow their independence, and make progress in ways that feel empowering and sustainable. In my spare time, I’m usually dancing or creating something. I perform at social and professional gigs every month or so, which keeps me connected to my community and gives me a real sense of joy and expression. I also love making costumes and learning to sew (teach me!), and there’s something grounding about working with my hands and watching an idea turn into something wearable. I also love cooking, op-shopping, and spending time with animals, which all help me slow down and feel grounded. Long road trips, camping with friends, exploring cultures, and learning new things are a big part of what keeps me curious and connected to the world around me. And above all, I value time with family. People describe my support style as calm, positive and steady. I show up with reliability, and a genuinely non-judgemental presence. I’m LGBTQIA+ affirming and comfortable with gender diverse supports. If you enjoy getting out into community, hobbies, parks, coffee runs — great. If you prefer quiet companionship, slow tasks, or gentle routine days — also great. Just let me know what your capacity is that day when I arrive.
