My story

My life has been shaped by various challenges, which taught me early on the importance of owning my story. By embracing my experiences, I discovered the power to change my narrative and support others on their journeys. At just 19 I became a qualified youth worker, dedicating my efforts to vulnerable young people in residential care. My journey has since led me to working in Mental Health Recovery, Disability Employment, and the NDIS.

Having lived in five states, I often felt like I was searching for a place to call home. That changed when I moved to Adelaide, where I finally found a sense of belonging. Although there's still so much to explore, I truly cherish the opportunity to raise my children in such a beautiful environment. The connection I feel to this place inspires me to nurture my family and communities' growth and well-being.

Why Bright Star?

I choose to work at Bright Star because it emphasizes grassroots community support, prioritizing holistic and collaborative services as a foundational principle rather than a goal. This approach resonates deeply with my values as I believe that genuine connections and comprehensive care are essential for fostering positive change.
