Having spent my formative years growing up in the Sutherland Shire, Sydney, and completing all my school and studies in Sydney.

The family relocated to Newcastle in 2012 and subsequently I moved to the Central Coast in 2018.

My family background is deeply established in the horse world. My grandfather laid the foundation by establishing our family Stud in the 1940s, initially in Sylvania and later in Yarramalong. This passion has been wholeheartedly embraced by my father, who has not only continued the Stud with extensive success but is also a highly skilled horseman in his own right. Our family has a strong tradition of participation and achievement at The Royal Shows, showcasing both our horses and cattle. Furthermore, my other grandfather held a prominent position in the horse racing industry, recognised as a leading trainer and driver during the 1950s and 1960s, frequently achieving success while competing at the Queensland Exhibition.

My professional journey has primarily been within Government roles, where I served with NSW Health, Department of Family and Community Services (FACs), and the NSW Police in child protection. This experience has provided me with a comprehensive understanding

vulnerable individuals and the importance of safeguarding. Additionally, I have gained valuable insights into the needs of participants through my work in support roles,psychosocial / recovery coach and as an Independent Support Worker.

More recently, in March 2024, I embarked on a new chapter in my career by joining

Platinum Psychology as a Coordinator of Support. I am characterised by my ambition and drive, finding motivation in challenges and maintaining a strong focus on achieving desired outcomes. In all my professional endeavours, I am committed to pursuing excellence and actively seek opportunities to expand my skills and knowledge.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the supportive atmosphere I have found here at Platinum Psychology. The Directors and my fellow Coordinators of Support have provided invaluable encouragement, which stands in contrast to my prior experiences within a high volume of employees in a government-regulated style compared to a non-governmental organisation. I am experiencing significant professional growth daily, within this positive and nurturing environment.

Should I be entrusted with the responsibility of supporting participants, please know that I am committed to dedicating myself fully to ensuring they receive the maximum benefit from their plan, support, and services, with the ultimate goal of facilitating their full empowerment.
