life experience
In my work with people with disabilities I have drawn heavily on both my studies, and my life experience to inform my reflections and provide the best and most appropriate support possible.
From growing up in Logan City, through my time serving in the Australian Army, working in the music industry, and in hospitality to my more recent experience working with people with disabilities, my life experience has informed me with an understanding of a broad range of perspectives and understandings.
This life experience, tempered with an academic understanding aids me in delivering tangible solutions, drawing on a wide range of resources.
