I grew up on a farm South-East of Perth and still enjoy going down there to see my dad. At 12 I went to boarding school and other than a short stint in Melbourne, I’ve lived in Perth ever since. In the past I studied Art, Secondary Teaching and Youth Work and most of my previous jobs were working in one of those areas. I’m very passionate about working with young people and everyone having the same opportunities in life. I joined Inclusion WA as a ‘Youth Development Officer’ in 2011 and a few roles later, I am now the Individualised Services Manager of our South Hub in Cockburn. I’m not sure they will ever get rid of me here, I truly love working for Inclusion WA and I feel very lucky to have found such an awesome organisation to work for!10

I am a Perth girl, born and raised. I love WA and can’t see myself anywhere else! I happened to stumble across Inclusion WA in late 2014. After graduating as an Occupational Therapist I decided to take some time off from work and uni life to focus on my biggest hobby, music. I began volunteering for Catch Music, facilitating jam sessions for people who wanted to get together with likeminded musicians. Fortunately for me Catch Music sent me on a training day at Inclusion WA. After the session I thought “wow THIS is where I want to work”! The rest is history, my ‘gap year’ lasted for about 2 months and I’ve been with Inclusion WA ever since.

I was born in London and emigrated to Perth when I was 12. I headed back across the pond when I was 18 to get my Animation Undergrad. I then spent some time working in London for a film production agency but missed the Perth weather and people too much so I came back! I fell into mentoring by accident really, having taken some casual hours between design contracts. I soon learned that making an impact on others was really important to me and decided to focus on a new career path.

I am originally from Zimbabwe but pretty much lived in Perth my whole life. However, I have been fortunate enough to have done a lot of travelling through sport, in particular rugby. Although these days I much prefer to spend my sporting time out on the golf course!! I came to Inclusion WA as my first job out of University in 2011 and have been with them since then.
My wife and I live close to Lake Gwelup – a fantastic place to walk our dog through the bush and meet lots of other local dog owners. We also have a great lawn bowls club across the road, which is an awesome place to catch up with mates!

I was born in South Africa and emigrated to Perth in 1998 with my husband and two young sons. Along with a strong company secretarial and finance background I owned and operated my own business for 17 years while working around the needs of my family. I chanced upon a Seek ad advertising a full time position in 2015 and applied and the rest is history. I am an avid walker. I live on the North coast and walk twice a day, most days with my staffy Milly. I am a sports fan and do watch a lot of cricket and most of the football codes. I love to read and am a member of a book club and a ladies investment club.
