As the behaviour analyst, I have worked closely and collaboratively with young people and team members in developing new coping skills, teaching social and emotional behaviours, adapting the environment to meet the needs of the young people and most importantly building healthy, meaningful, and quality relationships with themselves and others.

As an outdoor enthusiast, I understand the importance and therapeutic benefits of the natural world and I have spent most of my career promoting and encouraging the people I support to exploit these benefits by immersing themselves in nature.
