After a finance and insurance career, Aana made a surprising change eight years ago moving from corporate life to disability work. “I was watching a support worker with clients in town and thought, ‘I could do that, that’d be a great job,’” Aana says.

Since starting as a Support Worker at Enliven Disability two years ago, Aana has completed leadership training and taken on the Acting House Coordinator role at Middle Road. Her days are varied and involve leading the hands-on team, administrative tasks, and helping the Team Leader run the house. “Half of my role is on the floor, and the other half is admin,” she explains.

Reflecting on her work, Aana adds, “It’s without a doubt challenging but also so rewarding. It’s opened my eyes to things I took for granted, it makes you look at life differently.” Aana shares that generally her clients are some of the happiest people she has ever worked with, “I love this job, it’s something I feel very passionate about.” Pictured left is Aana with a flatter, Nga.
