Vanessa sounds like she would be a great person to have looking out for you. Professionally, and if you knew her personally. Such a nurturing sort of person, I feel.

my dream is to become a Aboriginal Community Worker. I feel disconnected from my culture and i know only way to learn my culture is get among it. And experience it first hand. I am atm studying to be a youth worker though online study. I have a long way to go but so keen to work in a remote aboriginal community. this video is inspiring.
