I am a self-employed creative visual artist and artistic mentor, and a manager, case-manager and counsellor in the field of community and youth support with experience in Queensland, Sydney and Canberra, Australia.

My goal is twofold and mutual: first, I welcome and invite all opportunities to improve and apply my creative abilities and experiences as a visual artist and artistic mentor to others by connecting through social networks with other creative people and with community groups at the local, state and federal levels; and, also, to obtain professional employment in the fields of community and youth support by assisting people who are disabled, abused and disadvantaged through developing and applying my counselling and mentoring skills.
