| I’m 54, originally from the UK, and I’m married with 3 adult children. Whilst in the UK I worked as an admin assist in a special needs school for 8 years. During my time there I worked closely with children of all complex and additional needs, and always gained a good rapport with them.

| I’m currently a Nursing student, and have been working in an Emergency Department for the past 4 years. I’ve looked after a diverse range of patients, some of whom have had complex additional needs. I have a large interest in eventually pursuing a nursing career that sees me looking after, and advocating for special needs children. Whilst living in Mackay I did care for a 5 year old girl who had complex needs, including epilepsy, so I do have some background experience with children and special needs.
