Summary

I have had an exciting and varied career that combines my skills in disability support, the fitness industry, and youth work in the UK. I currently work as a therapy assistant. Each of these roles has contributed to helping people in meaningful ways. Last year, I earned my Certificate III in Allied Health Assistance. In my current position, I support aged care residents, particularly those with dementia. I enjoy creating fun, engaging activities that encourage independence and promote well-being. I possess excellent communication and teamwork skills, and I am committed to making a positive impact in this field.
