Profile

I have worked extensively with adults and most of my clients have had an acquired brain injury sustained at birth, in childhood, or adulthood. I am experienced in supporting individuals who have some or all of the following: epilepsy, physical impairments, communication impairments, cognitive impairments and psychological impairments.

I am energetic and innovative in my approach and very experienced in supporting adult clients and their families particularly in the areas of self-care, leisure and vocational activities and am familiar and confident in dealing with issues which come up during and post-litigation.

I am a professional mentor for a small team of ILS Case Managers, providing them with professional support to meet ILS’ high standards of client care and reflect the company values.
