My story

I grew up in the UK, and I’m the middle child of a small family. I emigrated to Australia over a decade ago with my partner, young daughter and was pregnant with our second child. I was surrounded by amazing people so the 15,000kms move was one of the hardest decisions of my entire life. I had never visited Australia before we emigrated, but my curious and venturesome nature got the better of me. 

I was intent on being part of a community when we arrived so took every opportunity to be involved. I joined a walking group, book club and parent groups and put myself out there and have been lucky to find a wonderful group of people to share my adventure with. I also volunteered at my son’s kindy and continue to do so despite him leaving almost 7 years ago. I am grateful that they allow me to keep coming along!

​I am always searching for ways to connect with others and make them feel appreciated, so I really prioritise these times in my life. I am a biracial person and have experienced exclusion, so I am very much about inclusion in all facets. Everyone is welcome! The more, the merrier!

Why Bright Star?

I have always been drawn to roles where caring and compassion was high on the agenda and Bright Star enables me to do this. I am able to play to my strengths and am rewarded with the opportunity to support and care for some amazing people.
 
I love my clients and those that I get to spend time with at work. I’ve been lucky enough to assist others and value all the connections that I’ve made. I live day to day with chronic illness so I have a huge appreciation for the needs and wants of families within Bright Star.
