I bring over 15 years of experience in the care industry, shaped not only by my career but also by personal challenges, including a career-changing back injury that redirected my path. Dantae Support Services grew from humble beginnings into a trusted NDIS provider across Moreton Bay, Caboolture, North Brisbane, and the Sunshine Coast. From the very beginning, my goal has been to create a service that delivers what we promise, ensuring that participants and families can live their best life with dignity, trust, and support

Over 10 years in a Management position for various Disability and Aged Care Companies. I am an external advisor for the Quality and Safeguards Commission, investigating other companies at request from other Companies and approval of the Quality and Safeguards Commission. I started in Disability in a Regional Manager Role "Co-ordinator" and worked my way up to an Operations Management Position. I also worked for a Property Management Company, supported them with SIL/SDA Collaborative Agreements, SDA Registration, SDA Compliance and ensuring SIL Providers met the needs of their Participants. I provide private support to people needing assistance to register for NDIS or My Aged Care. I worked in the Peer Helpers and Mentors Support (PHaMS) as a Homeless Specialist, providing 1:1 supports to the homeless, providing assistance to get them housing, employment, a diagnosis if required and/or support. I have previous experience as a Counsellor working for Drug Arm with people with Drug and Alcohol Issues. In addition, I worked with Qld Homicide Victims Support Group as a Counsellor providing support to loved ones that have experienced homicide both victims and families of the accused. I provide private therapy to people experiencing AOD issues and Grief and Trauma.

Over the past decade, I’ve held leadership and consulting roles across aged care and disability, worked as a Secondary School teacher and opened my own business. My experience includes managing large-scale operations for organisations with hundreds of staff and clients, leading compliance and audit programs nationally, and successfully closing multiple Commission nonconformances.

Supporting my younger brother on the autism spectrum taught me practical advocacy, routine building, and sensory-aware problem solving. Day to day, I lean on organisation, empathy, and de-escalation skills developed through family caregiving and community-focused roles since relocating to Queensland.

I began working with participants in New Zealand at the age of 16. This work quickly became my passion, and I have since devoted the majority of my career to supporting others and making a positive difference in their lives.

With over 20 years of experience in the disability sector, my journey began by supporting family and close friends. This personal foundation inspired a lifelong commitment to inclusive care and community support.

At present I work full-time as a truck driver, while dedicating one day a week to my role with Dantae. This balance allows me to bring a practical, grounded approach to the work I do in the disability community. Although my professional pathway is varied, the time I spend supporting others through Dantae is something I find deeply rewarding and meaningful.

I completed my Year 12 Queensland Certificate of Education and hold a Certificate III in Information Technology, specialising in network engineering and systems administration. I am also a CASA certified Remote Pilot with a current REOC, operating the DJI Mavic 3 Pro Cine for commercial aerial work. Alongside these qualifications, I have developed professional expertise in digital media strategy, systems administration, IT infrastructure, and marketing, which allows me to work effectively across both the technology and creative industries.
