What I love most about supporting people with disabilities is how rewarding the job is. Being able to play a role in improving someone’s quality of life is incredibly fulfilling.
My passion for disabilities began when I met my first autistic child whilst working as an educator. This experience ignited my drive to better understand behaviours and explore strategies to support individuals and their unique needs. My passion for disabilities grew from here.
I enjoy the process of discovering what works best for each person. I have a passion for identifying triggers and implementing strategies that best support the individual. I love supporting people to develop regulation strategies and access the support they need.
I believe everyone has the right to access the support, resources, and opportunities they need to live a fulfilling life. Being able to contribute to that is something I’m truly passionate about.
