I am married with two adult children. I have 20 years of corporate experience in the field of Sales & Marketing. I transitioned into professional counselling, I am now a member of the Australian Counselling Association. I am also a support coordinator in the disability industry, building on prior experience as a youth and family worker for disadvantaged communities in a non-profit organisation.
I actively contributed to my local churches in various ministries for 30 years. I now serve as one of the deacons in my local church. My passion is to see every Christian, in every season of life, learn to become a Christ-centred child of God through the grace, mercy, and power of our Heavenly Father.
