Summary

I am a dedicated and compassionate social worker with experience in disability services, school well-being, and therapeutic case management. I have supported complex clients with challenging behaviours and have worked closely with vulnerable populations, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. My practice is person-centred, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive, with a strong commitment to promoting inclusion, safety, and respect. I value collaboration, continuous learning, and integrity in my work, and I take pride in contributing to positive, meaningful outcomes for the individuals and communities I support.
