My
Mission
Join me as we transform lives, dispelling self-limiting beliefs and embracing opportunities.
"To empower and educate caregivers and support professionals with comprehensive, compassionate, and industry-leading training. We aim to foster a community where every individual receives dignified, person-centred care, enhancing their quality of life."
I believe in industry-specific education that addresses real emergency environments. I aim to help you understand your participants' needs, respond with calm confidence, and foster emotional intelligence through knowledge and real-event simulations.
My
Experience
Hey there! I'm an enthusiastic and results-driven professional who's been on an exciting journey through various sectors, especially the Disability industry. With over two decades in Major Retail, I've spearheaded the launch of Australia's largest single-level retail store and pioneered a game-changing concept store for Big W.
My passion for training ignited in 2003 when I delved into nurturing talents as a TAE. Picture this: I mentored 16 bright minds in five Queensland stores, grooming them for future management roles. At Big W, I orchestrated a team of over 3,000 across multiple states, diving deep into Business Development, Consulting, and Marketing strategies that saw remarkable growth.
Shifting gears, I ventured into the Child Safety sector, coaching young drivers to ace their exams and supporting their transition to independence or Foster Care. Working hand-in-hand with organisations like Anglicare and government departments, I contributed to the welfare of young individuals, bridging the gap between community care and self-reliance.
Then came an incredible stint at Mangrove Housing, where I made a meaningful impact in the Homelessness Housing sector. I spearheaded growth, expanding the housing portfolio from 164 to 684 properties, providing vital support to individuals transitioning from homelessness to secure residency.
For the past five years, I've been back in the Disability and Aged Care sector, reigniting my passion for training and development. My mission? Empowering and educating caregivers and support professionals, blending my wealth of experience with an unwavering commitment to make a positive impact.
