With 8 years of professional experience supporting clients to running complex psychosocial and disability SIL houses my love for wanting to do more for indigenous Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and Pacifica communities has become a passion of mine.
Assisting our Pacifica community to ensure cultural identity is kept alive by facilitating in programs that incorporate cultural performance to assist in our youth and adults in maintaining a crucial connection that can reinforce positive influence into their lives, also assisting in the facilitation of a tutoring program for under privileged youth connected through sports to allow for more pathways for our youth beyond schooling.
With 15 years of lived experience supporting complex medical and behavioural disabilities it has given me an insight on what it is like to be a carer for a family member of NDIS and the difficulties it can bring. Choosing to lead how I practice professionally with empathy and openness I pride myself on the relationships I build with clients and their families. Always leading with the core mentality that ‘the care I provide is the care I would expect for my own.’
Gaining my Cert IV in ageing support and the frontline experience from years of working so closely with every client I have supported has been my driver to expand my education and study my Bachelors in Psychological Science and Criminology with the goal to Understand at a more complex level how and why these behaviours occur and with my experience working as a support worker will enable me to produce positive behavioural support plans that are consistent and have the ability be more receptive to support workers, carers and clients to enable them reach their best potential in their life goals. The chance to do more for clients and families in the capacity as a Behaviour Practitioner is my professional goal to meet those expectations that clients and families have for their life.
