What is Jodie's current position?
Executive Manager – Human Resources.

Jodie has been working with people with disability for:
"1 year (this is my first time working in the disability sector)."

What did Jodie do before she worked in disability?
"Prior to working in the disability sector I worked as an organisational development specialist and held various human resource management positions within the tourism and health sectors."

What does Jodie love about working in the disability sector?
"The disability sector has become a true passion for me.  In some ways it is an undiscovered sector for building a meaningful career. I love that you are constantly working to find true innovation. I also love the community spirit that is so evident in this sector and that each and every day you can truly say you make a difference."

A moment when Jodie knew she was making a real difference:
"There are so many moments! Particularly when you work in an organisational that is so passionate about what it does day in and day out. When you show people that they are appreciated, they are valued and they are integral to the service, then you know you are making a real difference."
