Tell us a bit about yourself 

I've worked in the retirement living industry for five years, focusing on resident care and meaningful wellbeing activities. I love helping people feel connected and empowered. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family, staying active and finding ways to bring joy into everyday life. 

Describe your role at St. Clare 

As Wellness Manager, I support the day-to-day wellbeing of residents and help create opportunities for them to stay active, connected and engaged. I coordinate activities and events, respond to resident enquiries, and work closely with the Precinct Manager and wider team to ensure residents enjoy a welcoming and supportive environment. 

What do you enjoy most about your role? 

Seeing the positive impact the program has on residents. Whether it's someone gaining confidence in a new class, forming new friendships or simply feeling more energised, those moments are incredibly rewarding.
