about..

Communication is where everything starts, and I’m committed to helping people find their voice in whatever way works for them. With over 18 years’ experience across special education, mainstream inclusion, respite care, and disability support, alongside my own lived experience, I’ve seen how powerful AAC can be when it’s part of everyday life, not something separate from it.

I have a passion for Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) and assistive technology, with a strong focus on making communication real, practical, and fun. For me, AAC isn’t just about devices, it’s about footy tips with friends, choosing what to wear, deciding where we’re going next, and having real conversations while we’re out and about doing life.

I support NDIS participants, families, and support teams to feel confident using AAC in everyday settings, at home, in the community, and in all those natural moments where communication actually happens.

My approach is practical, strength-based, and person-centred. I support people to use their AAC in ways that feels natural, meaningful, and embedded in their everyday routines and relationships, focusing on real-life communication and participation

A big part of my work is supporting AAC users to connect with others, build friendships, and have conversations that actually flow. I’m all about making sure communication isn’t just understood, but enjoyed, shared, and used to connect people.

Chats N Apps is built on the belief that everyone can communicate. AAC should be part of everyday life: choosing, chatting, joking, planning, and being included in your community.

At the heart of what I do is simple: helping people communicate, connect, and take part in everyday life in ways that feel real, supported, and truly their own.
