Summary

I am a Master of Social Work graduate from Monash University with a Psychology major from the University of Melbourne. Driven by lived experience with mental health challenges, I am passionate about supporting young people, particularly those with mood disorders and disabilities. I am skilled in emotional regulation, safety and care planing using a client-centred, strengths-based approach. Committed to reflective practice, I continuously refine my methods to enhance client outcomes. A fast learner with strong cultural awareness, I bring a proactive, inclusive, and impact-driven approach to social work.
