About me

Hi, I'm Selina.

I’m a late-diagnosed Autistic/ADHD social worker, and a parent to two awesome neurodivergent kids.

I get excited about gathering and curating knowledge and resources about how we, as individuals, can explore the path towards self-actualisation from a neurodivergent perspective — creating lives that feel safer, richer, more whole and deeply meaningful. 

Curiosity, compassion, and clarity are threads I try to weave through my work. Everything I do is from a trauma-sensitive and neuro-affirming foundation (because I am living it). That means working with our brains, trauma, and nervous systems, while making space for change and growth.

I use a holistic, systems-based lens, which means I don't just see individuals in isolation but as part of the environments and structures that shape our lives. When we want to deepen self-knowledge and cultivate change, we must also look at our contexts and the interplay between us and our world. 

I have a Master of Social Work and I am a member of the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW).

Outside of work, I'm an avid recreational dancer. My favourite boardgame is Dixit. I'm obsessed with my border collie X and rescue kitty. Food is my love language. When I was younger, I was an engineer on oil rigs.

My sensory kryptonites are industrial noise, synthetic fibres, and crowds. My enduring special interests are ballet and working on Neurocraft as a space to experiment and reimagine how we can work with our neurobiology and nervous systems to live our best lives.
