Naomi Humphreys
Job: School Social Worker

I love working with young people. Being able to spend time and listen to what’s happening in their lives. Helping them to grow the skills and the confidence to manage life’s challenges. It has provided an opportunity for me to grow as a practitioner.
Donna Gayton
Job: School Psychologist
Industry/Sector:Health
Having kids has helped me as a psychologist. And being a psychologist has helped me as a parent. Once I had kids and I was working as a psych, I began thinking ‘now I get it!’ with some of the parenting stuff.

I think it’s a really great career if you’re wanting variety. No two families you’re working with are the same. You’ll learn a lot about people, and hear so many life stories.

Lyndon’s parents knew he’d be a great teacher before he did. His career path shows there’s no right or wrong direction to explore.
Celia Beyer
Job: Senior Occupational Therapist
Industry/Sector:Health
I like the variety of working with different people. I get to know people and develop a holistic picture of their life. Plus, there is a bit of problem-solving, and creative thinking involved to help people return to daily tasks and get home.
Danielle Seadon
Job: School Health Nurse
Industry/Sector:Health
There’s a lot of pressure on young people to know exactly what they want to be. But I think there are plenty of opportunities to go and experience things, and see what you like. And if you don’t like it, you can always pivot and try something else.
