Summary

With a deep passion for the outdoors and an adventurous spirit, I find joy and fulfillment in being a dedicated mother to my two beautiful children, aged 15 and eight. Despite the occasional gray hair, I cherish every moment with them. Currently, I am pursuing a Certificate IV in Youth and Family Intervention, scheduled for completion by March 2025. This program has equipped me with valuable knowledge and skills to effectively assist youth facing challenging circumstances. Through my experience in disability support services and aged care, I have developed strong communication skills to engage with individuals from diverse backgrounds. I take pride in delivering personalized emotional and practical support that caters to their unique needs.
