Summary

I am currently pursuing my first year of a Master's in Social Work at Flinders University. Prior to this, I have experience as a teacher, specializing in teaching English to young children. Currently, I am undertaking an internship at Eldercare, where I focus on organizing activities to enhance the mental and physical well-being of the elderly. Although I haven't had direct experience in the disability sector, I believe that my passion, inclusiveness, empathy, and the skills I've acquired during my internship make me a strong candidate for a role as a disability support worker.
