Expertise:
Jinneth started as an “Assistant In Nursing” 13 years ago, focusing on challenging behaviours under ADAHC, transitioning residents from institutional residency to supported independent living as NDIS began to roll-out. Within this role she developed an interest in “what behaviours communicate”, inspiring the goal to one day study psychology. She entered parenthood and built a family, gaining a world of practical skills before returning to the disability industry. She returned as a Local Area Coordinator for NDIA (through Uniting). In this role, she developed a deep understanding of the importance of data and communication between stakeholders when aiming to achieve the best supports to work towards an individuals goals. This manifested itself into a leadership role with the LAC program. From here there was the plan to study before returning to the industry of disability, but a blossoming organisation recognised her interpersonal and work skills, offering many roles within the organisation whilst they built their foundations.
