By accident, is how our brilliant Support Worker, got introduced to the disability sector, almost eight years ago - and not only she is glad that she did, but so are we. Her day-to-day work is inspired by the very different people she supports, seeing them live a happy and fulfilled life.
Frida has been part of Team Interchange for the past eight years and gained a great amount of front row experience. Frida now uses her amazing skillset as Peer Mentor and Support Superstar in our Maddington Neighbourhood.
“Some people experience great hardship in life but find a way to overcome challenges. They make the best of their situation and smile.” That’s what Evangeline finds inspiring and something she truly enjoys about supporting and empowering people with disability.
‘I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you make them feel.’ She believes this to be very true and stresses how important it is to share positive energy with the others around you to empower them.
At Interchange everyone is very welcoming and family orientated. Clare loves that she gets to work with people that are kind, caring and can have a laugh all while still getting the job done.
"Social inclusion is very important to me. The disability sector enables me to empower others so they can connect and grow in their everyday life.”
It is incredibly fulfilling, reading Annette Frazer’s intentions, goals and achievements. We are grateful being able to share her story with you and shine some light on why we think she is awesome!
