My background is not typical, and that is what shapes the way I work.

For more than 20 years, I have worked across corrective services, youth justice, disability support, aged care, complex mental health, and community services throughout New South Wales and Victoria. Much of this work has involved high-risk environments, complex systems, and people requiring coordinated, practical, and responsive support.

I am the Founder and Director of NWU – Navigate With Us, an NDIS Registered Provider delivering Specialist Support Coordination and Psychosocial Recovery Coaching. I have worked within the NDIS sector since 2015.

I hold a Diploma of Community Services and have extensive practical experience supporting people with psychosocial disability, complex support needs, justice-system involvement, hospital transitions, family breakdown, housing instability, behavioural risk, and high-level service coordination needs.

My work is grounded in structure, stability, recovery, safety, and real-world outcomes — not generic, one-size-fits-all support.

I have supported participants transitioning from long-term psychiatric hospitalisation into community living, assisted families during periods of crisis, coordinated complex support systems, and developed governance and compliance frameworks aligned with NDIS standards and audit expectations.

I also understand the NDIS personally. Since 2015, I have navigated the system as a parent, so I understand the pressure families experience when the stakes are high and the system feels difficult to manage alone.

At NWU – Navigate With Us, my role is to bring calm, structure, advocacy, and practical direction into complex situations so participants and families feel supported, informed, and better equipped to move forward.
