JASE

---

I bring more than 20 years’ experience in education, along with a calm, thoughtful and people-centred approach to my work. My background includes supporting children and young people in school settings, mentoring, and working alongside Iris in school environments.

I hold a Certificate IV in Animal Behaviour and Training, with an Assistance Dogs specialisation. I am passionate about positive reinforcement, ethical training, and helping people build safe, respectful and trusting relationships with their dogs.

Through Creative Canine Connections, I support assistance dog pathways, canine-assisted wellbeing, school and community programs, and practical dog training guidance. My approach is patient, collaborative and grounded in real-world experience.

At the heart of my work is a simple idea: when people and dogs feel safe, understood and connected, growth becomes possible.
