Experienced professional supporting children and families in educational settings.

What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration, inclusivity, and professional growth.

I am a dedicated and compassionate professional with over 12 years of experience in supporting children, families, and individuals within educational and community settings. My strong background in student support, program coordination, and administration has equipped me with the skills necessary to communicate effectively and engage stakeholders. I excel in managing multiple responsibilities in dynamic environments, ensuring that students receive the guidance and support they need for successful transitions.

Throughout my career, I have worked in various roles, including as an Education Access Worker and OSHC Educator, where I provided practical and emotional support for students navigating their educational journeys. My experience as an Integration Aide has allowed me to support students with diverse needs, including those with trauma, mental health concerns, and learning difficulties. I am passionate about creating inclusive environments that cater to each child's unique developmental needs, and I continuously strive to enhance student engagement through collaboration with academic staff and support teams.
