I am a trauma informed, feminist leader who believes in using my influence for a more inclusive and equitable society. I oversee the four programs within the Women Services function at Launch Housing. This includes the Women’s Only Crisis Accommodation, the Transitional Housing Program, Pregnancy Outreach Support Program and the Cornelia Program which is a collaboration between Launch Housing, Housing First and the Royal Women’s Hospital for women and their babies in the first year of life.
I am a passionate advocate for the elimination of family violence as this is the main driver of homelessness for women. I also strongly believe that homelessness is a health crisis that needs to be addressed.
