In your own words, tell us about yourself.
I joined Prestige Inhome Care in September 2024. I bring over 8 years of experience as a Personal Care Assistant, having worked primarily in facility-based care in Werribee, Vic. In September, I relocated to Colac in regional Victoria, where I now call home.
I have two children—my son, who works for the RAAF and lives in Queensland, and my daughter, who still lives at home with me. Our household is lively with five dogs and one cat!
In my spare time, I pursue my love for vintage fashion, collectibles, and lifestyle, as well as classic Ford cars, of which my family and I own several.

What’s your favourite part of working at Prestige Inhome Care?
I appreciate the sense of community at Prestige Inhome Care and the opportunity to both support others and develop my skills. It’s great to be in a role where you’re making a positive impact while also growing personally and professionally!
What’s the most meaningful lesson you’ve learned in your career?
One of the most meaningful lessons I’ve learned is the importance of empathy in communication. Whether it’s providing guidance, answering a question, or solving a problem, understanding the needs, feelings, and perspectives of the person on the other side makes all the difference. Empathy transforms interactions into meaningful exchanges, builds trust, and ensures that solutions are not just accurate but also genuinely helpful.

If you weren’t working in this role, what would your dream job be? That’s such an interesting idea! If you had asked me when I was younger, I would have told you I wanted to be a Las Vegas Showgirl.
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received? Children are like puppies; if you let them pee on the mat as a puppy, they’ll pee on the mat as an adult dog.
What’s your go-to karaoke song? Anything Dolly Parton is right for me (love her)
How do you unwind after a busy day? I love having pink gin and watching retro movies from the ’50s/’60s (especially Elvis), or going on a road trip to find new treasures and meet new people.
