What drove you to choose a career in your discipline?

I’ve always been fascinated by the power of language and how essential it is for connecting with others. The opportunity to support people in expressing themselves, whether through speech, gestures, or alternative communication methods, deeply motivates me. I’m particularly inspired by the ability to work across multimodal domains, where different tools, such as assistive technology or visual aids, can empower individuals to find their voice. Seeing the profound impact that improved communication can have on a person's life is something deeply special to me.

Do you have any special interest areas in therapy?

I am particularly drawn to working with speech sounds and phonological interventions, helping individuals improve articulation and phonological awareness. I am also fascinated by multimodal communication, using a range of tools and strategies to support those with complex communication needs. Additionally, I have a strong interest in literacy, particularly how speech and language development intertwine with reading and writing skills.

What's your favourite part of your job?

What I enjoy most about my job is the opportunity to work closely with parents and families. Developing strong, collaborative relationships with families and communication partners allows me to create personalised strategies that integrate seamlessly into the home environment, making communication more effective and meaningful. I find great fulfillment in helping my clients discover their unique voice and empowering them to communicate confidently, whether through speech or alternative methods.

What drove you to choose a career in your discipline?

I don't think I actually understood the full scope of a speech pathologist when I first started my Speech Pathology degree. I knew I wanted to go into an occupation that helped people and despite putting down OT and Speech Pathology in my preferences, I ended up going into Speech Pathology. My passion for working in the disability sector started while on my university placements and after seeing the vital role of a Speech Pathologist in post head injury rehabilitation.

If given the opportunity to work collaboratively with other allied health students, take it! We learn so much from our allied health colleagues and having a solid understanding of their roles and how we work together results in better outcomes for the individuals we support.

Also remember that finishing your university course content and placements is just the start of your learning as a Speech Pathologist and Allied Health Professional. You will learn so much in your first year of work!

What drove you to choose a career in your discipline?

I have a previous career in public relations/media, after working a few years on organising press conferences and product launch events, I wanted to develop a career that is more meaningful and impacts people's lives positively. I have strong interest in communication and language, and that drove me to Speech Pathology!

Do you have any special interest areas in therapy?

Absolutely AAC as I'm in the AAC team! English is my second language and I can really empathise with people who cannot communicate freely (that still happens to me every now and then!). I resonate with people who don't have a voice and am dedicated to giving them a voice with my professional knowledge.

What's your favourite part of your job?

Definitely helping people to have a 'voice' and express themselves freely, or just building their capacity to do so! Empowering my clients to have access to an alternate way to express messages other than verbal language, and build up their confidence to communicate freely. Seeing the joy from clients and their families when achieving these little steps are the best motivation!

Why did you join Superyou?

I just came back from maternity leave (my little one just turned one year old) and wanting to find a workplace that cares for its employees, have the flexibility and of course a place that I can continue doing what I love - AAC. Superyou meets all my needs!

What drove you to choose a career in your discipline?

I was instantly captivated by Occupational Therapy and the idea that the things we do in our daily lives (our occupations), have unique meaning, purpose, and value. Our ability to participate meaningfully in our life has a direct impact on many health outcomes and our sense of wellbeing.

Basically, I love the idea that living a life that has self defined meaning and value improves our physical and mental health. So by supporting others to be able to live their lives to the fullest has a huge impact on their quality of life.

Do you have any special interest areas in therapy?

I have a keen interest in mental health, in particular with youth and adolescents. In the context of the NDIS I believe it is such an important consideration when working with people who may have more difficulty engaging in a mainstream mental health setting, either due to difficulties with their ability to express and understand their emotions, physical access barriers, and a number of exclusion criteria that apply to the mainstream sector.

I believe that our mental health and sense of wellbeing play such a pivotal role in the quality of life we get to lead and can often be the difference in being able to confidently pursue our goals and aspirations in life.

What's your favourite part of your job?

Corny answers are hard to avoid, but I love the team I get to work with at Superyou. I place such a high importance on being able to enjoy the space in which you work and there are many like minded individuals who contribute to a wonderful and healthy work environment.

I also get a great deal of satisfaction seeing my clients working towards and accomplishing their goals, becoming more independent, ticking that thing of their list that they have been trying to achieve for months or years.

Why did you join Superyou?

After spending 5 years working across a number of different clinical areas during my time living in the UK, I decided to move home to be closer to my family and friends in Perth again. With this move came a big decision as to where I wanted to take my career next.

I have always loved working in the disability sector and with the remarkable people who comprise it. Families, therapists, support staff, and chiefly the people for whom I deliver services. So when a previous colleague, and someone I greatly admire, reached out to tell me about the organisation they had recently started with called Superyou, and after speaking with them about the vision and objectives for the organisation, and the ability to continue to explore my interest in Mental Health, within the context of the NDIS I was very excited to start to help build the organisation from the ground up.
