Prior to completing her Bachelor’s degree in Nursing, Kelly worked as an Assistant in Nursing in the Residential Aged Care and Paediatric Disability sectors for over four years. Once graduated, Kelly continued to work in these areas of the health sector for a further five years before identifying her passion for the provision of community-based disability healthcare.

Kelly gains an immense amount of satisfaction from assisting those living with disability to lead a more independent and fulfilling life.
Kelly has held both clinical and management positions in both the not-for-profit and the private health sectors. Since commencing her nursing career, Kelly has also had a significant interest in Wound Care which led to her completing a post-graduate certificate in Wound Care from Monash University.
Kelly has provided Wound Consultancy services through Lighthouse Health Group for over 10 years to the community.
Over the course of her career, working with those living with disability and the catastrophically injured, Kelly has developed a deep passion for this area of health which led to her completing her training as a Certified Nurse Life Care Planner in 2020 with the American Association of Nurse Life Care Planners.
