GOAL SETTING
CAPACITY BUILDING
As a parent, I'm deeply invested in seeing the next generation thrive. In my youth work, that means helping young people build confidence, independence and practical life skills.
Every person is different, and every relationship develops differently.
I don't walk in with a formula. I build trust first, understand how someone thinks and adapt my approach to the individual rather than expecting them to fit mine.
Progress looks different for everyone.
Every young person brings a different set of experiences, strengths and challenges, so there isn't a single approach that works for everyone.
I spend time building trust first. From there, I draw on lived experience to provide practical support, whether that's developing confidence, working towards employment, navigating everyday life or simply creating consistency during a difficult period.
The goal isn't to have all the answers. It's to help young people recognise what they're capable of and give them the support to move towards it.
CHILD SAFETY & WELLBEING
The safety and wellbeing of young people is central to my work. I’m committed to creating environments where young people feel safe, respected and able to participate without fear of discrimination or harm.
My work is guided by the Victorian Child Safe Standards, with clear professional boundaries, appropriate communication, privacy and safe physical and online environments.
I maintain all relevant checks, training and qualifications for my work, including a Victorian Working with Children Check and Police Check, NDIS Worker Screening Check, First Aid and CPR certification, Public Liability Insurance, Play by the Rules Child Protection & Safeguarding in Sport training and the Victorian Government mandatory volunteer induction for school camps.
