Work History

Chief Operating Officer

Support Umbrella Group
07.2022 - Current

As the Chief Operations Officer of Support Umbrella Group, I lead a diverse portfolio of brands, including iSeekSupport, iSeekCare, BeVisible Marketing Agency, and MyProviderHub. My passion for innovation and out-of-the-box thinking has allowed me to spearhead the development of cutting-edge solutions designed to streamline the NDIS sector and deliver exceptional value to providers, participants, carers, and workers.

I entered the NDIS industry during COVID-19 on a contract with iSeekSupport, where I quickly recognized the potential to reshape the way services are delivered. My journey evolved into a full-time leadership role, launching new ventures like iSeekCare and BeVisible Marketing Agency, and ultimately contributing to the formation of the Support Umbrella Group.

One of my proudest accomplishments is the release of MyProviderHub, a web and mobile application built from real-life provider experience. It’s designed to simplify operations and ensure compliance, empowering NDIS providers to focus on what matters most—delivering quality care.

My mission aligns with that of Support Umbrella Group: to offer comprehensive, high-quality, and compliant solutions under one roof, helping NDIS providers and their teams thrive in an ever-changing industry landscape.
