He/Him
What’s your role at Just Support?
My passion is for helping people change their lives at a holistic level, supporting them mentally, emotionally and physically, and thus bringing wellbeing into their lives.
What inspired you to become a support worker?
I was in a very tough place years ago, and managed to transform my life in a way I never imagined possible. It inspires me to bring similar change to other peoples lives.
What do you enjoy most about your job?
Seeing the progress that the people I work with accomplish. Seeing them grow and empower themselves brings me great satisfaction.
What are your interests and hobbies outside of work?
I love Magic the Gathering. I have been playing this game for close to 30 years and know pretty much everything there is to know about it. I am also passionate about music and play the didgeridoo and percussion. I love getting together with a group of people and jamming!
Do you have a hidden talent or fun fact?
I can do Kinesiology. That means that if you ask me a Yes or No question, I can muscle test it and give you an answer.

I’m the Chief Quest Master around here, which means I get the awesome job of guiding our team and participants through incredible adventures in support and personal growth. I plot the course, steer the ship, and sometimes fight off dragons (metaphorically speaking).
Hi there! I’m Vanessa, and I’ve been enriching lives here as a support worker for over a year now. I specialize in supporting children and young people, focusing on academic studies, social skills, and active community participation. The best part? Our team’s wonderfully queer-friendly and nerdy vibe—it really makes Just Support feel like home.
