Allegra

Allegra joins Autism Intuition with almost a decade of experience in the disability sector, supporting individuals and families across community, home-based and Supported Independent Living (SIL) environments. She is currently studying a Bachelor of Psychology and brings experience coordinating services, establishing SIL homes and working alongside multidisciplinary teams.

At heart, Allegra is a people person who loves getting to know the individual behind the supports. She is empathetic, open-minded and non-judgemental, and believes one of the most valuable things we can offer another person is to truly listen. She takes the time to understand not only the individual, but also the relationships, community and circumstances that shape their lives.

Allegra believes participants are the captains of their own ships. They choose where they want to go, and her role is to help them navigate the waters, overcome challenges and access the supports they need along the way. She is passionate about building genuine connections, respecting individual choice and helping people live meaningful lives that reflect who they are.

Outside of work, Allegra has a love for the arts and musical theatre, having previously spent many years teaching dance. She also loves cooking, eating and sharing food with the people around her, believing that food is a wonderful way to bring people, cultures and communities together.
