“One of my passions is for autistic people to find meaningful and rewarding employment in accordance with their skill set and knowledge.”
Jen has a degree in Commerce as well as a Bachelor of Ministry and has lived experience of working with disability. She is a valued member of the steering committee that is assisting Rise and a number of Not for Profits to increase the number of people with disability employed within their respective organisations.
“The reason why there is a discrepancy between my two degrees and my current employment is because of my autism. There are a lot of autistic people that are underemployed or unemployed. I’m one of those people that is underemployed and not using the skills and knowledge that I have.”
