Summary
I have just moved here from the northern NSW, I've been in support work for over 4 years. I find joy in cultivating curiosity, whether it's engaging with strangers or working with clients. Recognizing that everyone possesses unique stories and talents some just need encouragement to express it or share those aspects of themselves.
