My qualifications
I completed my Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy at Curtin University back in 2015.
My specialisation / special interest
I have an interest working with adolescents and young people, specifically working with Mental Health, which I am learning more about each day. I find it really rewarding being able to support people to fully engage in their life in a meaningful way. Being a part of their recovery journey, guided by their own life experience and interests to find creative solutions to the challenges of life.
What inspires me
As corny and cliché as it sounds, I’m constantly inspired by the people I get to work with each day. Seeing how my amazing colleagues work with their clients, helping them to achieve their goals, develop their therapeutic relationships and help make positive changes to other’s lives.
Also seeing how my clients and their families achieve their own goals, respond to and overcome challenges in their lives, and support themselves and each other through life.
What gets me up in the morning
My coffee machine. And the opportunity to attempt to make something resembling latte art in my mug. It’s slow progress…
Why I joined Superyou
I moved home late last year after five years living and working in The UK. The NDIS has changed and grown significantly in that time. I was left to make a choice between seeking work in a mainstream mental health service, or re-engaging in the NDIS sector.
I saw that there was a gap for people who live with disability having access to mental health support within the NDIS model. Not long after returning home, I sat down with a good friend who happened to work at Superyou, who spoke volumes about the service and how it is designed to support it’s clinicians to support it’s clients and were actively seeking someone to come in and support the development of psychosocial supports within the organisation. So I took them up on the offer and have not looked back!
