Some Key things to know about me are: I am a very empathic and caring person and enjoy talking to others and listening to their ideas and thoughts. When working with my participants, I like to build a strong foundation and get to know the person and what their goals are working together to build on those goals and their skills. I am a very patient person and find that this helps participants requiring a slow transition, for example, working with youth that have social anxiety and need time to build confidence before going into new situations. I love nature and use this in a lot of my supports finding that nature is a great place to use the imagination and be creative as well as reducing feelings of stress and anxiety and promoting healthy well-being and regulating the emotions. I am also a very creative person and active, always coming up with ideas for my participants to help build their confidence and being involved in activities. I have worked in disability community support services for 12 years now and am still very passionate about my work. I have previously worked in youth work, trauma recovery programs, community work, disability work, and age care. some fun facts about me are: I play guitar and ukelele I have been in 3 films and met some famous people. I have two dogs a German shorthaired pointer and a dingo dog I have a green thumb, with many plants at home! I work at schools as a mentor/well-being worker currently aswell as in home supports. Currently looking to fill some spots available with more participants.
