About


I completed my degree in social work back in 2001 - since then I have worked in a variety of roles within both government and the private sector- including Child Safety, services for older Australians and disability support. I particularly enjoy working in the disability sector. I'm passionate about the principles of social justice and the rights of all individuals to have equal access to quality services. I'm an eternal optimist with a cheerful personality. I'm fairly relaxed and handle pressure well. I'm very organised and detail oriented
