Hi, my name is Kay and I come from a Lebanese background. I speak Arabic and English. I have a physical disability and have been on a wheelchair for most of my life.  

My family is most important for me.  

My new hobbies are cooking, creating dishes and new recipes. Recently, I have started a new diet of healthy eating and cooking with new recipes.  

I have been working on becoming more and more independent. I shop and buy my own groceries and work out my own healthy meal plans. Before Covid I worked out at my local gym.  

With friends I enjoy trying out new restaurants and going to the beach.   

As a mentor, I believe I am a good listener. I can offer my help and support and let the persons I mentor know that they are not alone in this. I want to support them in making decisions that work for them.  I hope this way people will believe in themselves and will rise up. I want to be that rainbow in someone else’s cloud. 

I am looking to mentor people within my local community around the Bankstown area. I can introduce peers to social groups and community events in Bankstown. Especially in helping peers to make new friends in their local community.   

This year,  I have been a co-facilitator in DDA peer mentoring practice sessions. We keep learning this way. 

I am looking forward to mentoring you.
