I believe everyone has the absolute right to live and experience their best life!  With my passion, determination and lived experience of disability on a daily basis, and also my experience working in the Human Services and Disability sectors, I will work with you to ensure you have choice and control in deciding what services are right for you, help you connect to them, and bring your NDIS Plan to life to ensure you have the required funding, supports and access to services you need to achieve your goals and aspirations and to live your best life.

I am a Social Worker specializing in working in Mental Health. I aim to use my experience in the community disability sector to work with participants in becoming more independent in their lives, be supported in making informed choices, and achieve their short term and life long goals. Focused on working in the Sunshine Coast region, I have worked in the disability sector for approximately 4 years, with almost 2 years of experience in support coordination. I have done extensive research on the NDIS through my thesis with the University of Queensland, and I also develop digital products and tools to assist NDIS participants in accurately tracking and budgeting NDIS funding.
