Why I do what I do
“'Selling, coaching and nurturing…' are the words the Education and Careers Advisor at the Victorian Institute of Sport said I was good at. 'Find a job that fits this and you’ll love it, and be good at it!' My diverse background of elite sport, customer service and allied health assistance have led me to this role. They were right, I love it! Advocacy for consumers and releasing time and money for clinicians to care keeps me enjoying the role."
