SKILLS

Resilient Survivor | Positive Influencer | Inspirational Queen | Risk-Taker | Determined Fighter | Boundary Pusher | Change-Maker | Role Model | Triumphing Roarer | Mental Health/Self-Care | Motivation & Inspiration | Reducing Fear and Anxiety | How to Live Life on Your Own Terms | Self-Bullying | Brain Injury Awareness In 2013, I almost had my life taken away from me when I had a quadbike accident in the very early hours of the morning back on September 14th 2013. My quadbike left the road and crashed smack, bang into a tree leaving me with a Glasco Coma Scale Score of three, the lowest possible score before death. I was barely breathing, and needing immediate medical care, thank god for the truck driver who noticed the light from my quadbike that was barely shining amongst the trees along the creek bank that ran parallel to a rural road in Ingham, North Queensland. I ended up breaking 38 bones, had ruptured numerous internal organs, and ended up with a Traumatic Brain Injury.
