Meet Your Team

The leader of 'Team Pink', Juddy's history as the leading behavioural coach at Wangaratta District Specialist School elevated his skills in supporting some of the region's most complex young people and their families. ​

 

He has a pedigree in craft brew and really knows a thing or three about his ales. Unfortunately he likes to pair them with salt and vinegar chips, and we're not really quite sure what's going on there.

 

A dad with three beautiful daughters, he's bravely started surprising them with 'yes' days, which have resulted in more than a few regrets so far.

The leader of 'Team Blue', Harvo's known for his long standing role as principal at Wangaratta District Specialist School, successfully supporting and advocating for people with diverse needs throughout our local area.

 

A maestro in the kitchen, his 'Vampire Beware' salami is the stuff of legend and very much in demand by those who've been lucky enough to score a bite or three.

 

In his down time he loves a blisteringly hot sauna, beating Juddy in a solid round of golf, and cracking open a sneaky spiced rum by a roaring weekend fire.

Bree's currently celebrating her 22nd year in mental heath sciences and behavioural support. Prior to becoming a Unicorn, she was a Senior Behaviour Support Practitioner at the Department of Human Services for 12 years in the Behaviour Intervention team. 

​

(Her impressive list of certifications and training is WAY too long to fit in this bio, but believe us when we say she's pretty much done it all.)

​

She's also made it her personal mission to drink everything that Billson's in Beechworth ever made, and is well on the way to achieving that goal!

Fitzy's been working in the field since 2007 and is passionate about supporting all ages and abilities.

 

He has most of the alphabet after his name, including a Bachelor in Applied Science (Disability), a Masters of Education (Applied Behaviour Analysis), and now his Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA) in 2021.

 

Another fan of a good spiced rum, he's still attempting to play footy with a sloppy left foot disposal. We've also heard the rumours he used to be the drummer in a punk band. (We'll pay good money for photo evidence of Fitzy with hair.)

BB's taught in the special education field for the past 8 years and has recently relocated to Queensland to work with us up north.

 

She's worked alongside individuals with a wide range of needs and complex behaviours, and has a particular passion for supporting families in the Early Intervention sector.

 

Now she's based in Cairns, her new favourite thing to do is send us pics of the tropical paradise she lives in while we're all freezing our essentials off as winter rips through Victoria.

 

We hope she gets (a little bit of) sunburn.

Spence commenced her career as a Div 2. nurse working in a rehab training hospital in '89, then developed as a Behaviour Practitioner from 2003.

​

Her interest and skillset reach throughout the spectrum of sexuality and disability, forensic neurobiology of trauma, and family units.

​

In addition to racing vintage cars and enjoying the odd spot of fishing, she's also attempted to knit or crochet a garment for each of her grandkids.

 

(Alas, her first cardie is still in a bag in the wardrobe, and the kid it was for is now 12.)

Darce's spent the last 11 years working within the Dept. of Families, Fairness and Housing, including positions as a Behaviour Intervention Services Practitioner and Disability Practice Advisor.

​

She knows her way around any type of red tape you can imagine and specialises in working across a broad spectrum of complex client needs. 

 

When she's not lifting weights, Darce is sniffing out the best burgers in town and sneaking a few cheeky margaritas while cheering on her mighty Pies. (We make sure she's VERY well fed at all times!)

JMac's a recent psychological science graduate who was working in sleep analysis before we nabbed her as a superstar Unicorn recruit.  ​ 

​

She's had a passion for allied health since adolescence and is absolutely blowing us away with her commitment to providing quality support.  ​ 

 

Her favourite foods include home-cooked lasange, a solid packet of Twisties, and Hawaiian pizza topped with olives. (Whyyy?!).   ​ 

Thankfully, she used to be a barista and so makes up for it by brewing us killer coffee.

'Pockets Sloan' is our resident gangster behaviour practitioner, holding a Bachelor of Psychological Science with a huge list of distinctions including: Addiction, Child & Adolescent Development, Social Psychology, Health Behaviour, and Human Behaviour.

 

Her professional history includes supporting people with Autism with early intervention programs, and she's also on a personal mission to fix the wierd lack of pockets present in women's clothing everywhere. 

​

She's a big fan of "anything green", indoor plants (strangely, these are also green), and sashimi. (Hopefully the sashimi is not green!)

KT's a registered early childhood teacher and behaviour analyst with an absolute swag of qualifications at her fingertips, including a Master of Applied Behaviour Analysis and Autism Studies.

 

She's currently pursuing her goal of becoming a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA), and was recently the Director of a large Early Learning Centre supporting children with Autism.

​

In her spare time, KT is full on water baby and social butterfly, combining both in frequent trips to the beach with her much loved family, friends, and furchild - Ruby. 

Ally teams a super-strong administrative history in Queensland Health with her Bachelor of Social Science (Psychology) to follow her passion of helping people with disabilities live their very best lives.

​

She's a Crossfit nut, a reader of large books, and loves spending quality time with both her lovely daughter and barky little chihuahua fluffball - Sunny.

​

Despite a very successful health and fitness focus, Ally's favourite foods include chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate... with a little side of extra chocolate thrown in for good measure. (Yummo!)

Backed by her extensive degree in Health and Medical Science, Cath started her career at a national not-for-profit where she provided person-centred and evidence-based behavioural support planning.

 

When she is off duty, Cath tells us she enjoys endlessly tidying up after her family (we suspect otherwise), taking care of her neurotic rescue dog - Scratch, and making sure that Bob, her kids' 8 year-old-goldfish, doesn't go to the great fishbowl in the sky.

​

While she tells us she's a big fan of coffee, we reckon she'll be up for something stronger given the right circumstances!
