How long have you been with Anglican Family Care and what’s your background in?

Started with AFC in December 2023. I am a registered Social Worker with a background mainly in Child and Adolescent Mental Health.

What inspired you to pursue a career in social work/family care?

I have a passion for working with people and helping them to harness their strengths to make changes in their lives that they want to make, Social Work was a great fit for this.

What do you find most rewarding about your work?

Seeing the pride on people’s faces when they achieve things they didn’t think they could, and hearing the stories of how your walk beside people has been pivotal in them moving in a direction they didn’t think was possible.

What do you get up to outside of work? What hobbies or activities do you enjoy doing?

I love spending time with my 2 children and husband out and about exploring the beautiful region we live in.
