Support worker bio

I love working as a support worker. It satisfyingly draws on my random mix of skills, strengths and lived experience. 



It is a privilege and honor to help boost some of my fellow humans capacity.  

 

I am friendly, kind, inclusive, patient, empathetic, open-minded, fun and reliable.

I have a keen interest to help my fellow community members live the best life possible on their terms.

I am a mindful movement and meditation teacher and have also studied art therapy.

I have past experience working as an allied health assistant in the Epworth Occupational Therapy department.

I am a lucky mum to a busy ((ND)) 7 year old.

I have lived experience with chronic pain/ illness ((Fibromyalgia and Arthritis)) and am a late dx ND ((ADHD with some Autistic traits)).

I love getting out in nature, reading, watching movies, yoga, meditation and anything creative.
