My Story

I didn’t step into this work by accident. Growing up in foster care and navigating drug-affected family dynamics shaped my understanding of resilience, responsibility, and the kind of support people truly need. Becoming a carer for my mum deepened that perspective — teaching me that care is not just a service, but advocacy, structure, and long-term commitment.

Today, I’m an independent support worker with a Bachelor in Youth Work and over five years of experience in the disability and youth sector. I work closely with young people living with ASD, ADHD, Intellectual Disability, rare chromosomal disorders, and psychosocial conditions — supporting their independence, confidence, and community participation.

After building my own practice and navigating the realities of compliance and the evolving NDIS landscape, I created The Support Worker Hub to equip others with the systems, standards, and guidance needed to build sustainable, ethical careers in this space.

Support work is not just a job — it’s a vocation.

Outside of work, I stay grounded through training, running, martial arts, reading, all things beauty and music — disciplines that continue to shape my resilience both personally and professionally.

My Values

These values define the way I support participants and equip the next generation of support workers.

01

Resilience

Support work requires emotional strength, adaptability, and long-term commitment — especially in complex and evolving environments.

02

Integrity

Ethical decision-making, transparency, and accountability guide every interaction — with participants, families, and professionals.

03

Compassion

Care should be person-centred, respectful, and grounded in genuine understanding — not just task-based support.

04

Excellence

High standards in documentation, compliance, communication, and practice are non-negotiable.
