I’m deeply committed to working collaboratively to create environments where people can thrive.

Whether delivering direct support or leading practice development, I aim to bring empathy, expertise, and integrity to every interactions, supporting others to be their best

Throughout my career, I have worked in a range of settings, including special schools, autism assessment and intervention services, community and bilingual services, and healthcare within the prison system. In 2014, I qualified as a Registered Intermediary and have spent over 10 years supporting children and adults with speech, language, and communication needs within the justice system. Currently, I am part of a specialist multidisciplinary team supporting children and young people with intellectual disabilities and behaviours that challenge.

My goal is to help people access education, social opportunities, and develop meaningful relationships, ensuring that they can live fulfilling lives and participate fully in society.
