SO, why do I do what I do?
Ultimately, it frustrates me to no end the way that NDIS has been set up and fallen so far from what it was originally intended to do. I support the Social Model of Disability - and I want to part of the change that makes that the norm, as it should be. If I can make this journey easier for you, that’s the bare minimum for me.
The systems are difficult enough to navigate without trying to do so with the barriers that so many people living with disability face.
Being Neurodivergent myself, I’ve lived my entire life being forced to fit a mould and water myself down to be more palatable by society - and I don’t want you to have to do that. Not in this space.
Having to set goals (ew) to justify why you need support to exist in a society that was not created to be accessible and jump through countless hoops just to get the support you need - it’s tedious and unnecessary… but I’m happy to help.
I’ve been described as a “Bull Dog”, and I don’t think I’ve ever received a better compliment <3 I am not afraid to rock the boat, and I’m not afraid to use my voice.
My goal is to work towards becoming an advocate - because if there’s any positive attribute to my own Autistic brain, it’s the injustice sensitivity. I refuse to leave it alone until I’m confident nothing more can be done, and I want to be the voice for those who have had theirs supressed for so long. Whatever that may look like.
My goal is to work in the disability & survivor of gender-based violence spaces.
If I can do my part to create a world where we are safe from gendered violence and where our Neurodivergent children don’t have to grow up and unpack the trauma they’ve incurred as a result of consistently being misunderstood, belittled and made to conform to a world that should celebrate who they are, then that’s why I do what I do.
