SUPPORT WORKER - ADRIAN ELKIN

Hi, I am Adrian and I recently moved to the Sunshine Coast from Brisbane having grown up in country Victoria. I live on the Southern end of the Coast with my 15 year old son and getting used to life on the Sunshine Coast.

I love most sports, mainly AFL and football (yes I am a Liverpool fan like Craig) and also play football when I can.

I have been a foster carer for 15 years, looking after disadvantaged kids and providing them a safe home, love and support. This work has lead me to now do Support Work full time too and to make a different in people's lives.

I am currently studying my Cert III in Disability.

SUPPORT WORKER - AGUSTINA ILARIO

My name is Agustina, and I am a 26-year-old psychologist from Argentina. I earned my degree at the age of 24 and have been dedicated to providing psychological care to my patients ever since. My practice continues to this day, as I maintain virtual sessions with my clients in Argentina.
My passion for my field led me to continue my education at my university, where I also served as a teaching assistant for four years. During this time, I had the valuable opportunity to work at a foundation in my country that provided assistance to young people and adults with autism. My experience there deeply influenced my professional focus, and I wrote my thesis on how to approach the subjectivity of autistic individuals.

This year, my partner and I made the exciting decision to move to Australia, a dream we have always shared. While I continue my work remotely with my Argentine patients, I was thrilled to find new opportunities here in the care sector, particularly with people with autism. It has been a great joy to continue contributing to this field in my new home.

My approach focuses on establishing a strong therapeutic relationship based on warmth, empathy, and active listening. I am motivated by the constant pursuit of new knowledge and techniques to provide the best possible care. I am a responsible person, committed to professional ethics, and dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of the participants and my patients.

SUPPORT WORKER - AVA DEVI

I am originally from Brazil and moved to Australia in 2014, first settling on the Gold Coast before finding my home in the Sunshine Coast in 2018. I am married and a proud mother of a beautiful daughter.

My professional journey began in the environmental field, where I worked on projects to protect nature and support traditional communities. In Australia, my path expanded as I became a yoga teacher, and for the past 10 years I have been teaching and studying the integration of body, mind, and spirit for a joyful and healthy life. Yoga has been a lifelong passion, and outside of work I enjoy practicing, studying its philosophy, chanting mantras, and connecting with nature through traveling, hiking, camping, and spending time at the beach.

As a support worker, I feel grateful to bring the tools and wisdom of yoga into this caring role. I see this path as an opportunity to live what we call karma yoga—the yoga of selfless service. I believe in fostering awareness, presence, and a sense of belonging, and I feel deeply rewarded when I can help someone achieve their goals or overcome challenges.

I am truly thankful to Kelly and the KB Infinity team for opening this opportunity to me. Becoming a Support Worker has allowed me to align purpose with service, and I look forward to the journey ahead.

SUPPORT WORKER - ANJALI SHEPPARD

Hello, I am Anjali, one of the Support Workers at KB Infinity Support. I feel very fortunate to have met Kelly and be taken on as a Support Worker here. There are many aspects of being in support work that reflect my values, such as respecting people's differences and honouring what each of us has to offer.

I have lived on the Sunshine Coast since 2003 where I have raised my two children. During these years, I was employed teaching international students which has changed recently. Before coming to Australia I was a primary school teacher for 10 years in London. My other work was in Europe working for British travel companies during the winter, returning in the Summer to England and teaching English. My childhood was spent in Calcutta, India, being raised by my Indian father and English mother.

My main interests are spending time with friends, being active in our beautiful environment. As I love nature, I enjoy walking on the coast and hinterland with my friends and my dog where possible, exploring new places and talking to new people. My other passions are cooking - Indian food in particular as I am originally from India. I love reading, yoga, cinema and the Arts.

Now that my two children are through their school years, I have the energy to move in a different direction. I am doing a Certificate 3 in Individual Support and receiving great training and guidance by KBIS to enter support work. I am a hard worker, a caring person and very much looking forward to supporting you and meeting your needs.
