For more than a decade, I have worked as an Orientation and Mobility Specialist in urban, regional, and remote  settings, in New South Wales and the Northern Territory.

In 2008 I completed a Graduate Diploma in Education and spent a number of years teaching in Australia, New Zealand, America, and South Korea. I later completed a Masters in Special Education as I wanted to become an Orientation and Mobility Specialist. I find working in the disability sector, rewarding and fulfilling.

Recently, I took a brief hiatus to explore another role that I cherish—being a mum! Embracing motherhood has been a wonderful journey. The moments dedicated to nurturing my little one provided me with time to contemplate my return to work. The answer was clear – launching Top End Vision & Mobility in 2023.

I've assisted students to competently navigate campuses, aided adults in safely crossing uncontrolled roads, and reintroduced the joy of reading to older generations through technological advancements. Every moment of these experiences has been genuinely fulfilling.

Vision is essential for daily life and plays a key role in communication, learning, and navigating the world. Everyday tasks may become challenging.  With the right support and adaptive solutions, many people can live independently and continue doing the activities they enjoy. I have seen the benefit of personalised support. It can open up a world of new opportunities and improve a person’s confidence in real life situations.

I invite you to reach out for an obligation-free conversation about how we can collaborate towards achieving your objectives. Your journey towards independence and empowerment starts with a simple chat.
