I Became a social worker in 2004. I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and an accredited trainer and assessor.
I am the founder and Director of Resilience Enterprises; a company based out of Cairns.
Resilience Enterprises works in the areas of Positive Behaviour Support, working with trauma and front-line responders and across Intersectional spaces including NDIS service provision. We are a proud Social Worker based service and we have a dedicated and talented team who work across the Mental health and Disability space with a range of people from children to adulthood.
In my advocacy life, I have won awards in relation to LGBTI-related advocacy. I continue to contribute as an outspoken advocate from an intersectional approach as a peer, a consumer, and an allied health professional.
I believe in joyful lives, and I believe in the fundamental abilities all of us have to learn within our scope of reference, the power and importance of community, self-determination where possible, and that everyone has some ability to learn.
I am interested in human resilience, identity, and intersectionality.
I have experience working across and alongside diverse systems and organisations from medical to NGO, self-sourced funding, to government, capacity development and law enforcement. I believe organisations can benefit from a trauma-informed practice approach in considering training needs and growth and development.
Hi, I am Michelle. I love connecting with new people and working with them on their goals. I have been at Resilience Enterprises for a number of years, in various roles. I am currently a Behaviour Support Practitioner, studying my honours year in Psychological Science which I find very exciting. I enjoy working with a variety of people, with a focus on mothers.

"The Website Therapist"
With the tech problem-solving skills to build anything and the people skills to listen and learn what tools people really need built, I'm in a unique situation to create custom software for Resilience Enterprises.
My responsibilities in this role are primarily website-related. I designed and built both the public website and also private team training mini-sites so if you have trouble accessing any of it or spot a page that needs correcting, I'm happy to hear from you.
