Service Manager
“I started my career in the disability sector in 2008 and have spent the past four years working at Afford. My favourite thing about working as a Service Manager is being able to support clients and their families to engage in activities and programs and see them achieve their goals and aspirations, all whilst having fun. When I’m not working, I enjoy playing guitar and writing songs. I look forward to welcoming you to Penrith Hub and working with you to gain new skills and make new friends!”
