Summary

A hardworking and compassionate worker with over 12 years experience in the Community Services sector. I have provided individualised support to people across the lifespan, from diverse backgrounds, and across varied settings. I have always advocated for marginalised groups and individuals, and am committed to providing the best possible care and support.


Having worked in the NDIS Early Childhood sector over the last 5 years as an Early Intervention Coordinator, I am highly motivated to continue to support children and their families address their child's developmental concerns . In order to do this to the best of my ability, I am currently studying a Certificate 3 in Early Childhood Education and Care to add to my knowledge base.
