Dear Reader,
I’m Katie, a fun-loving nurturer who is passionate about helping
others. With years of experience in both the aged care and
disability sectors, I’ve learned that every person’s story is unique,
and everyone deserves to be supported and cared for in their
own way. Building warm, positive relationships has always come
naturally to me, and I take pride in helping my clients create and
maintain connections within their own lives. This work is both
rewarding and challenging, and my past experiences have given
me a great deal of patience, empathy, and understanding.
I was raised in Bundaberg and have worked here for the majority
of my life, and I haven’t found a career I love more. Even on the
toughest days, I try to remember the battles my clients face and
see it as my purpose to be a strong pillar of support they can lean
on.
A Bit About Me
When I’m not working, I love spending time with my family and
volunteering with youth. I also enjoy staying active, especially by
going to local markets and live music events. My work as a support
worker is driven by a deep belief in people’s choice and control,
and I love being out in the community and seeing how inclusive
and diverse it can be.
I also have a great passion for farming, especially working with
animals (except chickens!). You can often find me enjoying a ride
in the car, or at home with a range of arts and crafts.
My Experience and Qualifications
I have experience in supporting people with a variety of
disabilities, including:
● Lower limb amputations
● Psychosocial disabilities
● Intellectual impairment
● ADHD/ADD
● Autism
● Dementia
● AFS Syndrome
● Enteral Feeding

I hold the following qualifications:

I would be delighted to attend a meet and greet to see if I’m the
right person to support you!
Kind Regards,
Katie
