Meet your local coordinator - Kate
I am a Teaching Assistant and Administration Officer at a special purpose educational facility for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Townsville. I am a mum to three children (16,20,22) and a step mum to three more (9,14,19). This year I started studying for my teaching degree, however due to my ongoing health battles with Endometriosis I have had to put this on hold for now. In my spare time I like to swim, read crime novels, mosaic and hang out with my family.
