Tell us a bit about your experience
I’m a Certified Accountant with 10 years of experience looking after the finances for purpose-driven organisations. Over the decade, I’ve managed financial operations right across Aged Care, Domestic Violence services, the NDIS, and support for children and families impacted by trauma. I genuinely love working in this sector. For me, it’s about combining my background in financial strategy and compliance with a real commitment to make a difference. My goal is always to ensure our financial foundations are completely sorted, so our frontline teams can get on with doing what they do best.
Where are you from?
I moved to Sydney from Thailand in 2001 (and yes, I still love Thai Food) and I've been living on the beautiful Northern Beaches for more than a decade. I love working close to home and being part of the local community.
What inspired you to work in Play Therapy?
Working with children who need play therapy support deeply resonates with my inner self. We all have a child inside us who just wants to be heard, seen, and understood, and the play therapy provided at Be Centre helps children heal from life's challenges.
What do you like most about your job?
I love being part of a team that is passionate about what they do, but also knows how to have a laugh and have some fun.
