Andrea resides in the Macedon Ranges with her husband and is the proud mother of two grown daughters. As a dedicated Disability Support Worker, she is passionate about empowering children to reach their full potential. Andrea’s commitment to the field was sparked by her firsthand experience supporting her sister, who has complex needs. This personal journey led her to further study and a career supporting children and families within schools and kindergartens across Melbourne and the Macedon Ranges. Andrea brings this valuable insight and deep empathy to the Gentle Sensory team.
Andrea utilizes a strengths-based, person-centered approach to foster a safe, trusting, and nurturing environment. Her personal life experiences provide her with a unique understanding of the daily challenges families face, allowing her to offer deeply relatable and compassionate support.
Outside of work, Andrea loves hosting family gatherings filled with great food. You’ll often find her bushwalking at Mount Macedon, beachcombing, or even donning roller skates for a whirl. Above all, she loves life and values the opportunity to learn from others, regardless of their age.
