Work History
I spent close to 30 years working in the Australian Federal Public Service, prior to being medically retired in 2020 at age 47.
During my time in the public service I worked in program management, policy and legislation, organisational change management, Information Technology and Human Resources.
I have had a small business for quite a number of years, but shifted it in 2022 to focus mainly on creative therapies and supports.
Personal Life
I have been a visual artist for my entire life and love exploring new media.
I am a wife, mother and grandmother, and an 'extra' mum to quite a few.
Getting diagnosed with Autism and ADHD at 47 has been a huge shift for me in understanding myself. It has helped me to understand the anxiety and depression that I have struggled with my whole life, and why I have always felt like an outsider.
