hilst studying a Nursing Degree, Lee was fortunate enough to gain a scholarship through her university in 2018, which allowed her to experience diversity and culture in multiple/varied healthcare settings in Ahmedabad, India.

This experience really opened her eyes in realizing how wonderful and supportive Australia’s healthcare system is and how she can continue to enhance opportunities for individuals, through advocating for people’s choice and rights.

Lee’s previous work history includes support work in the disability sector and as an Assistant in Nursing in the aged care sector. Her aspiration in supporting people living with disability originated from when she supported her mum back in Sydney, who lived with Alzheimer’s Disease, 20+ years ago.

Lee provides the following services:

Working in her current role as Senior Support Coordinator, has allowed Lee to share her passion, knowledge and experience with the professional cohort of Support Coordinators in the PoDDSS team, along with those she directly supports, their families, guardians and stakeholders alike. Lee believes working collaboratively in achieving goals and dreams for an individual is paramount.

Lee loves travelling, exploring new countries, socializing with family and friends and most of all she enjoys testing out new cuisines (she is a bit of a foodie!). Her easy-going nature and cheeky sense of humor has warmed many a heart over the years and she can’t wait to connect with you today!
