How long have you worked at Multicultural Hub, and what is your role?

I am a support worker in the Multicultural Women’s Service. My role is to support women from migrant and refugee backgrounds. I have been with the organisation for 6 years as a volunteer, and a settlement and support worker.

What do you like about working with the Multicultural Community?

Migration and settlement process has its challenges and I truly love working with the Multicultural community because I believe that every migrant enhances their new societies on so many levels by bringing a beauty of new culture, knowledge, skills and experiences. It is the intangible benefit of pride and accomplishment to know that I am able to assist my clients reach their potential. I love my work and it provides me with great satisfaction knowing that my job makes a difference.
