My Approach

With decades of experience in Disability Support and Early Childhood Early Intervention, I know how disability impacts people’s lives and their families. 

Having access to local networks is essential to being able to fully participate in the community. This is why I do what I do. I aim to promote inclusion and diversity through social connections.

I listen carefully. I act with integrity, compassion and respect. I know you know what you need, all I do is make the process easier through providing information, guidance and support.

My goal is for you to reach your goals. I do this by finding solutions to your problems so you can live the life you want.

My Experience

I began my career working with children experiencing complex delays and disabilities, and families experiencing high levels of disadvantage. I now have over 30 years’ experience in Disability Support and Early Childhood Early Intervention. 

I have a Postgraduate Certificate in Early Intervention and Special Education and a Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood) from Macquarie University. I’m also a Member of the Australian Early Intervention Association and the Australian Early Childhood Association.

In 2004, I published Like a Family, Telling Stories: Celebrating 20 Years of Community Respite Care for Children and Adults with Disabilities on the Northern Beaches 1982 - 2002. I wrote this book for parents who needed to find respite but found it difficult letting other people look after their children.

Most recently, I worked as a Local Area Coordinator helping people access and implement NDIS plans. I have written and actioned plans for over 300 people living with complex disabilities and chronic medical conditions and connected them with support services that have helped them live a fuller life.
