About me:
Kia Ora!
Ko Olivia toku ingoa. I have been working with youth for five years, two as a youth worker and three as a counsellor. I am super excited to support you on your youth work journey!
When I started youth work, my team's mission statement was "be the person we needed when we were younger". I have carried this through the heart of my work with youth ever since.
However, I understand that youth work is often a labor of love, and not always the easiest path to choose. I am passionate about supporting youth, and passionate about caring for those who do.
My main areas of expertise are supporting neurodiverse and LGBTQIA youth, and provide trainings on these issues. I also have plenty of personal experience working on camps and in schools!
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Mā te wā!
