I joined ADNSW a few months ago after returning from maternity leave. It's fair to say the past year has been busy for me - I've had a baby, moved house and started a new job!
My family comes from Newcastle but growing up we moved around quite a bit. I've lived in some great places like Ballina, Perth and even Papua New Guinea. Somehow, we always seem to end up back in Sydney so that's where I call home.
I am passionate about working for an organisation that allows me to make a difference. Working at ADNSW gives me the opportunity to use my communication skills and experience in a meaningful way - to help communities gain access to services that can help them.
I job share with my colleague Gillian, and together we deliver all communications for ADNSW.
My day-to-day role has more of a digital focus and involves managing and maintaining the ADNSW website, fact sheets and resources. I also provide support with social media, our monthly e-newsletter, Equal Time, and the Annual Report.
The first six months of my role at ADNSW has been busy. We launched the Workplace Adjustments Series and relocated to a new office, which meant updating all ADNSW resources and communications.
The work is always different and interesting. One day you might be updating the website or working on a social media post, and the next you are on set assisting with filming interviews for a project you are working on. Not to mention all the little things that pop up in between! I'm always learning something new.
When I can find the time between looking after a cheeky one year old and two very spoilt cats, I like to do pilates, go to the beach or read a good book.
I also love to travel. Despite COVID putting a dampener on overseas travel, I have been lucky to have some nice holidays in Australia this year with my family. Most recently we visited Tasmania, where my son loved feeding the kangaroos!
