I am a qualified Trainer and Assessor with a background in community services, disability, counselling and project management. I hold a Bachelor of Counselling and have also completed an Advanced Therapeutic postgraduate module as part of the Master of Psychotherapy and Counselling.
Much of my work has involved supporting people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. I have facilitated workshops and group sessions, mentored staff and university students, developed presentations and learning materials, and explained complex information in plain English.

I enjoy helping people understand new information and feel confident using what they have learned. I adapt my approach to different learning, language and cultural needs and aim to create a respectful and supportive learning environment.

I am interested in part-time, casual and online training and assessment opportunities that match my qualifications and industry experience.

I have over 25 years of experience working with culturally and linguistically diverse communities across community services, disability, employment support and community development.

This includes more than 11 years with the Multicultural Disability Advocacy Association of NSW, where I worked in advocacy, community development and project management and later managed government-funded programs and staff.

My experience includes disability inclusion, family safety, aged care and community engagement. I have facilitated workshops, information sessions, support groups and community education, and developed information and presentations for people with different cultural, language and learning needs.

I have also supervised and mentored social work students completing workplace placements of up to 500 hours and supported staff through mentoring, feedback and reviewing their presentations and work.

Earlier in my career, I worked in disability employment services, case management and employment support.
