About Me
I am a social and sophisticated lady, in my 50's. My life has been filled with travel, music, dining out, and interesting people with stimulating conversation. I have an eclectic taste in music – Jazz, Opera, Blue Grass, Country and Western, and Classics of many eras. I listen to music that suits my mood and spirit. I am studying the music and lives of several of my favourite artists. My love of learning came early, as I pursued an interest in languages and enjoyed travel to London, Paris, the US and Malaysia. I live in my own, modern, 2-bedroom apartment with 24/7 support. I am house proud and like beautiful decor and fashion.
I do not use spoken language, so people can underestimate my intelligence. My supporters understand me and appreciate my intelligence, my interests in others and my passion for learning.
I have complex health issues and considerable physical and neurological challenges placed on me daily by my disability. However, I have goals and aspirations and a vision for my future.
My Team
I have a fabulous, self-directed team that supports me day-to-day (24/7), to live in my own home and enjoy the community. My team have interesting life-experience and different backgrounds. We have a good time together.
My family have supported me to achieve many successes as well as navigate life's ups and downs. They have created a personalised model of support that facilitates my diverse and enriched lifestyle. They know I am happiest when I have choice and control over my life, supported by people I have chosen, who are respectful and passionate about my gifts and goals.
