Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

About

I’m a community-focused professional with experience across health promotion, outreach, engagement and frontline customer service in government, multicultural community settings and not-for-profit settings. I’ve spent several years supporting people who face barriers to accessing services, with a focus on culturally safe engagement, clear communication and improving pathways into health and social supports. Across roles in community health and public housing, I’ve coordinated programs, built partnerships, supported diverse communities and contributed to more inclusive service delivery. My earlier customer service background strengthened my ability to manage complex enquiries, stay calm under pressure and provide clear, solutions-focused support. I bring a respectful, organised and people-centred approach to my work, and I’m motivated by roles that create meaningful impact, strengthen community connection and make services easier and safer to navigate.
