Hi parents/caregivers! I am a social worker in the inner west area, I am long out of uni and now working in tertiary education.

Hello Parents! I grew up in a tight-knit community, consisting of supportive families and their children. There were limited kids my age, so you would always find me chatting away with the adults or being chased after by my younger siblings and their friends in a game of tip! As I began to take on more responsibilities, I provided babysitting and cleaning services for these parents. This, in addition to growing up in a neurodiverse family (including myself) and later caring for my younger brother who has ASD, means I am responsible, understanding and patient. I love cooking delicious and healthy meals, keeping my space tidy and going on adventures! My hobbies include pottery, hiking, drawing, and reading (to name a few). Additional Info: I am in the process of getting a WWCC and have completed a successful Police Check. I have an NZ-restricted manual license and am first-aid certified.
