When my first child began school I volunteered to read with the students. It was from this experience that I became passionate about helping those children who struggle academically as well as socially and emotionally in the school environment. So my journey began, completing a Graduate Diploma in Early Years (QUT), then moving on to complete a Masters of Inclusive Education (QUT). I have worked in the public education sector for 10 years and experienced first-hand all the barriers students with disabilities and their parents/carers face within the school system.  As an Inclusion Support Teacher, I wanted to understand why children behave in various contexts, from the home to school and in the community. This lead me down the path of behaviour analysis where I studied to become a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA). I have also recently completed a Graduate Diploma in Psychology through Monash University. My journey also resulted in exploration of my own neurodiversity.

I am an NDIS Advanced Positive Behaviour Support Practitioner, a registered teacher with the Queensland College of Teachers as well as a member of  the Association for Positive Behavior Support (APBS), and the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science (ACBS).   I am passionate about utilising Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support and assist my clients and their families in achieving values-based outcomes that matter to them.
