My name is Genevieve, and I’m a third-year Arts and Social Work student at the University of Sydney. I’m currently working toward completing my Social Work degree, with a focus on areas such as disability advocacy, mental health, youth work, and child welfare. Having grown up with a father who is totally blind, I bring lived experience and a personal understanding of the social, emotional, and practical challenges faced by people with disabilities. Over the years, I’ve developed skills in providing everyday support—including assistance with digital and technological aisstance, goal setting, using public transport, and engaging in community activities—in ways that honour both dignity and independence. I am especially passionate about the wellbeing of both children and the elderly. I believe every individual, regardless of age or background, deserves access to opportunities, meaningful connection, and support that respects their uniqueness. I’m open to assisting parents and guardians through companionship, empowerment-focused care, and support with daily routines. I also have a deep, long-standing passion for mental health and psychology. Through both study and work experience, I’ve developed a strong understanding of conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, and autism spectrum conditions. I am attentive to the emotional landscape behind behaviours, and I work from a place of insight, patience, and gentle curiosity. My approach is grounded in empathy and informed by evidence-based frameworks, with a commitment to fostering trust, safety, and a sense of calm connection. Above all, I strive to be empathetic, dependable, and respectful. I value each person as they are and am committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and encouraging environment for all—regardless of age, ability, culture, faith, gender, or background.
