MEET OUR TEAM 2 | KB Infinity Support

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 - 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.

SUPPORT WORKER - DAMIAN MURDOCH

Hi I'm Damian Murdoch, Support Worker at KB Infinity Support.

I have worked in the Disability Industry for almost 9 years now and absolutely love it. My work brings a lot of joy and satisfaction to my life.

When I'm not working in disabilities I'm working in my own business, World Class Friend, which specialises in helping people take charge of anxiety so they can go on to achieve their dreams. I'm very passionate about helping people achieve goals, and this is what I love to bring to my disability work as well.

When not working, you can often find me at the Noosa Tigers Football Club (AFL), where I'm the Operations Manager. AFL, health and fitness, and music (Triple J) are my main passions, along with listening to podcasts on anything mindset related.

SUPPORT WORKER - DANIEL McKELLAR

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.

SUPPORT WORKER - ELAINE WEST

My name is Elaine West.

I moved to Australia with my husband Ian last year, to live with my daughter and son-in-law.

I have nearly 40 years experience working right across the care sector in England, covering many different areas of care. I have worked as a Registered Manager for many years looking after clients with Learning Difficulties. I then went on to work alongside the nurses that cared for clients with Spinal Injuries/ Head Trauma and M.S.

The last five years before moving to Australia I worked with clients with Dementia and Alzheimers.

I joined KB Infinity Support in August 2023 and love working with our participants and staff.

In my spare time I love doing craft work and spending time with my family.

SUPPORT WORKER - KATRINA ABELL

Hi, I am Katrina and a relatively new member to KB Infinity Support.

Originally from Sydney, I have now lived on the Sunshine Coast for 19 years and call this paradise home. I have two gorgeous sons aged 21 and 18.

I am a qualified Naturopath and Massage Therapist and have mainly worked in health food stores over the course of my career. I owned the Buderim Health Store for a couple of years. After I sold it, I was looking for a change and landed a role in the office of a retirement village. I loved interacting with the people in the village, so decided to study Cert III in Individual Support. I worked as a Community Support Worker for the elderly for 4 years and love it. I am now blessed to have landed this role to support people with disabilities which I find very fulfilling. I love caring for other and helping people live their best life.

In my free time, I love to sing and have been singing in a community choir for six years. I like to keep fit and enjoy walking, swimming, yoga and have recently commenced doing Pilates classes. I enjoy the outdoors and recently went to Fraser Island with my sons in a four-wheel drive and absolutely loved being immersed in the beauty of nature.
