Mel was born in Canberra and now has two children who keep her active. Mel was a press photographer for 16 years and this gave her the opportunity to meet and work locally with many Canberrans. Mel is actively engaged as a member of her local community and enjoys interacting with children and families. Mel has experience providing high quality, family centred support and will work with you to accommodate your needs and fulfil your requests.
In 2013, Mel’s daughter was diagnosed with Potocki Lupski Syndrome. This has given Mel a greater understanding of the importance of Inclusion within the community. Mel’s personal experience and exposure to a range of intervention services within the sector provided her with insight for the need for social support in the community. Her passion for social inclusion, empathy, and life experiences allow her to support clients to develop social skills, build their self-esteem and self-confidence to develop friendships and peer relationships in their mainstream environments.
