Originally from South Africa, I completed my Master’s degree in Educational Psychology before relocating to Australia. I bring extensive experience and a strong interest in child development and education, particularly in supporting students with diverse learning needs.

My role focuses on conducting comprehensive assessments for children and adolescents, including evaluations for autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, learning difficulties, and intellectual disabilities. I make use of a wide range of standardised tools to help identify each child’s unique profile and support needs.

I have a particular interest in early identification and intervention, neurodevelopmental presentations in complex learners, and supporting children who experience difficulties with attention, executive functioning, and academic engagement. I also enjoy working closely with schools and families to provide practical, tailored recommendations that can be integrated meaningfully into home and classroom environments.

My approach is collaborative and strengths-based, and I am committed to ensuring that each child’s strengths are recognised and that the assessment process is clear, supportive, and focused on helping them thrive. I look forward to continuing to build connections in the Mackay community and working alongside local schools and professionals to support positive outcomes for young people.
