Tina Garcia - Support Coordinator, Northern NSW

As a Support Coordinator, I love helping people build confidence, independence and connections in their community. 

 I have experience supporting people with a range of mental and physical health conditions and enjoy working in a person-centred, strengths-based way. I particularly enjoy working towards healthy food habits, physical activity, connection with nature and wellbeing, with a strong focus on mental health and community participation. 

I am originally from Argentina. I have a background as Support Worker and a Translator and have completed a Diploma of Community Services and additional Support Coordination training. Outside of work, I’ve been surfing for over 15 years, and have volunteered with Disabled Surfing Associations in both Australia and Argentina. I also enjoy climbing and have a growing interest in meditation, breathwork, and holistic wellbeing practices.
