My Story
I was born in Toronto, Canada, and grew up in Surrey, British Columbia, in a home that was always open. My father was a long-haul truck driver who once jammed with Waylon Jennings in the pubs of New Orleans. My stepfather Stan built his career at BCTV, the local television news station, and showed me what steady dedication to community looked like.
No matter where we lived, our door was always open to anyone who needed a seat at the table. I grew up with the sounds of Jamaica in the house. That early lesson, that community is a commitment and not just a concept, has shaped every business and every program I have ever built.

Family days in Canada
I moved to Australia in 1998 and have called Western Australia home ever since. I have led trail rides in Dunsborough, run a café in Lancelin, delivered fitness classes where people kept coming back not because I was hard on them but because they felt seen. I worked alongside my grandmother Maxine in Nullagine, deep in the Pilbara, where I first understood what community means when it is built by people who have very little but give everything.
My family's history in Australia dates to convict times in the 1850s in the Keerup region. I carry that history with me, along with the resilience it took to start from nothing and build something worth keeping.
Family First
I have one daughter, Jordyn, and together we have what can only be described as a Brady Bunch household. Three granddaughters aged 6, 8, and 12. Jordyn's partner has three boys around the same ages. Six kids, two adults, and more love and noise than any home should reasonably hold.
I also hold close the memory of those I have lost. My stepfather Stan and my uncle Newton are both gone now. Stan showed me what dedication to community looked like. Newton was warm, larger than life, and deeply loved.

From Fitness to First Aid to Community
My career did not follow a straight line and that is exactly why REACHAU is built the way it is. Fitness instruction taught me how adults learn under pressure. Running a café taught me logistics and calm under fire. Working in Nullagine taught me why preparation is not optional when help is hours away.
When I transitioned into First Aid training, I brought all of that with me. I'm an introvert by nature, but I light up when I teach. It's more than a job. It's who I am.
And when I started seeing community members going without food, shelter, and support while others quietly offered what they had, I started building Find Local Help Now. The same instinct that drives good First Aid response, you show up, you assess, you act, drives everything I build.

The REACHAU Difference
Training should match the environment where the skills will actually be used. A mine site worker does not learn best in a city conference room. A childcare worker needs scenarios that involve infants, not adults. A person re-entering the workforce after a long break needs support that meets them where they are.
That is what REACHAU delivers. I come to you. I adapt to your context. And I stay until every person in the room walks out with both the skill and the confidence to use it.
"In an emergency, you don't get to pick the right time to act. You just have to be ready."
Qualifications and Credentials
What REACHAU Stands For
Practical over theoretical
Skills are built through doing. Every session prioritises hands-on practice in environments that reflect reality.
Everyone belongs
No matter your background, experience level, or where you come from. You are capable and you deserve training that reflects that.
Regional communities matter
REACHAU was built for the people and places that bigger providers overlook. I go where the need is, not just where it is convenient.
Trauma-informed delivery
My mental health background means I understand how people process stress, setback, and change. That shapes everything I deliver.
We come to you
Workplace, stable, mine site, community hall. The learning environment should match the working environment.
Building for the long term
Every program, every app, every workshop is designed to still be useful long after the session ends.
Courses Delivered Through REACHAU
All courses are nationally recognised and delivered on behalf of ABC First Aid RTO 3399.
Find Local Help Now
This app started when Britt saw a call out from a not-for-profit group in Serpentine Jarrahdale helping people living rough. She showed up to a cook-up. She helped package meals. And then she started noticing more and more people on social media asking for help with food and basic necessities, while others were quietly offering what they had.
She saw a gap. No safe, simple way to connect those two groups. So she started building one.
Find Local Help Now will connect people in need with food, shelter, health services, and employment support. It works in low power mode, has offline functionality, and is built with privacy protection front and centre. The jobs button will connect to REACHAU for needs assessment and referral. It is backed by Gemini AI and Google search for live, up-to-date results.
Beyond the Training Room
Cricket
Attends most Perth Scorchers matches and follows Australia internationally. One day she wants to honour her stepfather Stan's Jamaican heritage by attending a match at Sabina Park in Kingston.
Blue Heelers
A deep love of Australian Cattle Dogs. Lost her last blue heeler about six years ago and is quietly keeping an eye out for the right puppy to travel regional WA with.
Equestrian Environments
A long connection to horses from trail riding in Dunsborough to equine first aid delivery. The stable environment has shaped both her teaching style and her understanding of practical care.
Family
Three granddaughters, a Brady Bunch household, and the deep conviction that the people you love are the reason you keep building things that matter.
My blue heeler — always the best company
Perth event — always learning
