My name is Elaine, and I was born in Whyalla SA but I was raised in Toronto, Canada until I was 20 years old and came back to Australia to seek a different lifestyle.

I have always been passionate about exploring the world and learning new things. My journey led me to pursue a degree in Business Management but in the meantime I had many different careers from working in a photo laboratory, being a Meter Reader for the Gas Company AGL, and then finally, I took on my final corporate role for 13 years with IBM Australia, where I had numerous roles and ended as a Sales Manager and Team Leader.

Throughout my life I developed a keen interest in all things IT and ended my corporate career to move to Queensland with my wonderful partner and our dogs to create a less stressful lifestyle to live out our working career. Over the years, I have held various positions aimed at helping people and enjoying the pleasures my new roles provided. I now work as a support worker helping an autistic young woman live her best life.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, music and cooking and I am always seeking new adventures and experiences. My goal is to make a positive impact on the world and inspire others to do the same. My partner worked with a few clients who have Scleroderma which also motivated me to assist with what I could, to help with this life-changing disease. I have committed to being in the Scleroderma committee and enjoy helping and assisting in any way possible.

I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible!
