THE KB INFINITY SUPPORT TEAM

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.

Hi, my name is Ryan. I lived in Brisbane for most of my life, yet always felt the Sunshine Coast was where I belonged. I relocated here in 2016 for a change of pace, career and to be with family; especially my Grandmother, who was in the early stages of Dementia.

I find it extremely rewarding to help and assist others to achieve their goals or to solve a problem they are facing; this is what led me to pursue a rewarding career where this is a fundamental aspect. I feel I have found this in becoming a Support Worker and look forward to the journey ahead.

In my spare time, I enjoy exploring the Sunshine Coast, getting salty in the ocean and spending time with friends. I am also an animal lover with a particular fondness for dogs and the rainbow lorikeets that visit my balcony.

Qualifications once my placement is completed are; Cert IV in Community Services, Cert III in Individual Support (Disability) and Cert III in Community Services.

Hi, my name is Kirsty and I am 37 years old, born and raised in Darwin, however I lived in the UK for 3 years in my early 20's and throughout my life I have been lucky enough to do a fair bit of overseas travel as well as travelling around most of Australia.

I moved to the Sunshine Coast at the end of 2018 and have fallen in love with it. I have a wonderful supportive partner, he is also working in Disability Support and we have two French Bulldogs who are our children, called Rollo and Freya.

I have previously worked in real estate as a Senior Property Manager for 13 years, but after a long year off fighting breast cancer (I won), I decided I would love a career change into something more fulfilling, where I can help other people to also live life to the fullest. I have recently completed my Certificate III in Disability Support so am now a fully qualified Support Worker. I am so excited to be joining the KB Infinity team. I am a very caring, happy, bubbly and down to earth person. I love drawing and watching movies in my spare time.

Hello, my name is Taylor Harding and I a am 27 years old Disability Support Worker, working for KB Infinity.

I was born and raised in the Sutherland Shire and moved to the Sunshine Coast nearly 3 years ago, and have a home here now with my fiancee.

I have travelled all over the world solo in my early twenties and also spent 6 months volunteering as a teacher aid in a remote school in Fiji.

I have always wanted a career where I can make a difference, and with a very empathic and patient, and full of energy personality support work is definitely for me.

I am extremely grateful to work for such an amazing team ( family ) as KB and cannot wait to continue working with our amazing participants creating opportunities, growth, and living their best lives.

Hi, my name is Paul Martin and I live with my fabulous partner Kath who I met in 2004. Together we have four adult children over 30 and one grandson. We reside in the beautiful Cooroy hinterland with our three furry friends who think they're people but are actually sausage dogs.

It only feels like yesterday when I loved to the Sunny Coast in September 1985 and for many years I was actively involved in the music industry which incidentally is where I met Kath. During that time I attained a Diploma in Music and Music Business as well as Cert IV in Training & Assessment. I've also been grateful for the opportunity and privilege to travel to some memorable destinations around planet earth. I'm still drawn to the ocean and nature, love the garden, guitars and amplifiers.

Fast forward to the present and around 18 months ago I gained employment with the great crew from KB Infinity Support and joined the team as a Disability Support Worker. The job description is challenging, rewarding and often fun working with and being involved in the every day lives of the participants. In addition, it's humbling and enlightening assisting people with diverse abilities to allow their unique personalities and talents to shine bright.

Hi, my name is Emily. I have just embarked on my journey as a Support Worker after studying and travelling for the last 5 years.

I grew up in Kilcoy, 1 hour west of the Sunshine Coast. Throughout high school I completed a Vet Nursing traineeship where I then worked full time for another 5 years whilst living in beautiful Kings Beach. I then moved down to Byron Bay, where I continued Vet Nursing for another 2 years before moving to the Kingdom of Bahrain in the Middle East for 6 months. Here I also Vet Nursed, although my patients were a little different!

On return to Australia, I completely flipped the switch and drove across the country in a 1991 Troop Carrier to live and work in one of the most remote places in Australia, the Kimberley on the Gibb River Road. Here I worked in a remote community store for approx. 4 years and had the privilege to witness the country change throughout the wet and dry seasons as well as seeing Aboriginal rock art that only a few get to view, swam in stunning rivers and gorges, hiked and 4wdriving with my friends that became family, along with so many other amazing adventures that I’m so grateful to have lived.

Throughout this time, I studied a Bachelor of Social Welfare which I have now completed! On return to QLD for Christmas, I felt I needed to stay home for a while, and a friend who is also a Support Worker for KB recommended I speak to Kelly about Support Working. I’m so happy I took this step and feel very “at home” in this role. I feel very aligned to all of the values that KB uphold and I am looking forward to continuing to grow and evolve in this role!

Hi, my name is Dan and I am a 24 year old who moved to the Sunshine Coast in July of 2019. Prior to that, I spent 5 years in Brisbane working as a Personal Trainer and travelling the world.

Recently I have commenced a Bachelor of Animal Ecology at USC with a strong passion to further my education not only within my degree but also the disability sector.

My hobbies include camping, yoga, running, music production, gym and pretty much anything associated with nature or the great outdoors. Working at KB is unreal as they take common interest and combine them with the right participant, this opens up opportunities to not only share your hobbies but gain new ones.

I pride myself on my ability to work hard, care for others and set goals, which I believe are imperative traits for a successful support worker. I am very excited to develop my skills with KB and can't wait to support you and your needs.

Hi, my name is Liz and I've lived on the Sunshine Coast for over 30 years. I currently live in Beerwah with my awesome partner Shane and I'm the proud mother of 3 amazing kids. We have 2 dogs and 2 birds. I also work full time and care for my parents who live across the road.

I have worked in the care industry for over 20 years and am experienced in diversional therapy, aged care, dementia, mental health and disability care support work. My passion has always been caring for others for as long as I can remember.

I love my family, music, camping and all animals but particularly love dogs.

Hi there, I'm Sarah and I look after all thing’s admin related for KB Infinity Support. I'm a born and bred Queenslander, growing up in Brisbane however due to my love of travel and adventure I moved to London in my early twenties on a working VISA. After returning to Australia, I decided to try something new and move to Melbourne, which was where I met my husband, before then moving to the humble town of Geelong. In 2021 we finally coming back to the Sunshine State to raise our beautiful boy and be closer to family (and thaw out from many years living in VIC and abroad)!

I absolutely love being back in QLD, particularly the beautiful Sunshine Coast which is home to many glorious beaches and the outdoor adventures.

I've been in the administration industry for over twenty years however this is my first stint working in healthcare which I'm enjoying immensely as it’s so rewarding to see all the hard work Kelly, Craig and the Support Workers do on a day-to-day basis to provide the best care and support to our beautiful Participants. It’s wonderful to be a part of such a dedicated and passionate business that really puts people first to ensure our Participants are living their best possible life.

So, if you have any admin related queries, please don't hesitate to reach out, as I’m always happy to help!
