Experience

I have worked with people with disability since 2016.
I describe my practice style as collaborative, holistic and practical, tailoring my approach to meet each participant's unique needs.
In my free time, I like to spend time learning new skills, reading and with my dog which often helps me build rapport with participants.
My participants often describe me as approachable, cheerful and respectful, reflecting my commitment to creating a supportive environment.

What I like most about supporting people:

I am passionate about understanding people beyond their presenting behaviours, abilities, or circumstances. I value building strong, trusting relationships and am committed to advocating for the rights of individuals while supporting them to achieve greater choice, independence, and quality of life. I find great reward in exploring the underlying factors that influence behaviour and working collaboratively with individuals, families, and support networks to develop meaningful, person-centred strategies that create positive and lasting change. My approach is grounded in respect, empathy, and a genuine belief in each person's capacity to achieve their goals and live a fulfilling life.
