Behaviour Support Practitioner

I enjoy working with children and adults with disability to build independence, develop skills, and participate meaningfully in their communities. With over six years of experience in youth work, residential care, case management and as a Child Safety Officer, I take a person-centred, strengths-based and trauma-informed approach. I particularly enjoy being with people, walking alongside them in their journeys, building trusting relationships and helping people work towards their goals that improve their quality of life. Families and participants would notice that I am approachable, patient, genuine and a big advocate for their needs and wants, and that I value each person's individuality, preferences and right to partake in decisions regarding their care.
