My experience:
I am a qualified Teacher with degrees in Education and Health Science. After working in the Higher Education sector for the last 6 years, I decided it was time for a change. Having lived experience with disability, I have always been passionate about the health sector and felt that working as a Specialist Support Coordinator with Access4u would be the perfect place to make a difference.

What inspires me to do what I do:
What inspires me most about being a Specialist Support Coordinator is being able to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives every day.

The most rewarding part of my role is...
The most rewarding part about my role is assisting people every day to understand and navigate the NDIS system. My role is extremely rewarding in that I get to build positive relationships with so many different people and advocate for those who may not be in the position to do so for themselves as well as helping them to reach their goals. No day is the same, which provides a great challenge in itself!

A fun fact about me:
In a past life, I was a 2nd Dan Black Belt in Taekwondo. These days you will find me chasing after my 5 years old twins in the beautiful Adelaide Hills.
