As the Director of RISU Care, I lead our organization with a commitment to excellence in disability support services. My role involves strategic planning, overseeing operations, and ensuring that our mission and values are upheld in every aspect of our work. With a focus on innovation and quality, I strive to create a supportive and empowering environment for both our clients and our dedicated team.
With over 15 years of experience as a Registered Nurse, I have acquired a broad range of skills in both clinical and managerial capacities within various healthcare settings. My experience includes acute and emergency care, with a strong focus on aged care, where I have spent most of my career.
Having advanced from foundational roles to managerial positions, I have completed a Master's in Disability Practice to deepen my understanding of disability issues and strengthen my advocacy for individuals with diverse needs. This achievement reflects my ongoing commitment to professional development and excellence in healthcare.
Knowing that my efforts contribute to improving the health and well-being of individuals and families, and witnessing the gratitude and relief on their faces, is deeply fulfilling. This sense of fulfilment and the ability to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others is what truly makes me proud.
An interesting fact about me is that I have a perfectionist streak and thrive on creating well-organized and flawlessly executed projects. Whether it's completing a task at work, organizing an event, or even arranging my personal space, I find great satisfaction in attention to detail and ensuring everything is just right. While it can be challenging at times, this trait drives me to constantly strive for excellence in everything I do.
What motivates me in both my work and life is the opportunity to make a positive impact on others. Whether it's helping someone solve a problem, providing support during challenging times, or simply brightening someone's day, knowing that my efforts contribute to the well-being and happiness of others is incredibly fulfilling. Additionally, I'm motivated by the desire for continuous growth and learning. I thrive on new challenges and opportunities to expand my knowledge and skills, both personally and professionally. This drive to learn and improve allows me to stay engaged, adaptable, and always striving to be the best version of myself.
I enjoy the creative process of designing decorations, organizing activities, and ensuring that every detail contributes to a memorable experience for guests. It's a hobby that allows me to express my creativity while bringing joy and excitement to those around me.
One of my favourite quotes is by Maya Angelou: "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." This quote resonates with me because it emphasizes the importance of kindness, empathy, and human connection in all our interactions. It serves as a reminder to prioritize the impact we have on others and to strive to leave a positive and lasting impression through our words and actions.
As the Founder of RISU Care, I am dedicated to creating a supportive and inclusive environment for individuals with disabilities. My vision is to provide exceptional care and empower our clients to lead fulfilling lives. Through strategic leadership and a commitment to our core values, I strive to ensure that RISU Care consistently delivers high-quality support and services to those in need.
My professional journey began as a Laboratory Technician, where I operated my own laboratory business in Nepal for a decade. This foundational period enhanced my precision and dedication, skills that proved invaluable when I shifted my career to aged care and disability services in Australia. For over 15 years, I've committed myself to this rewarding field, concluding in the establishment of RISU Care. This venture is a personal triumph as it addresses the quality gaps I observed while working for others in the industry.
I'm particularly proud of founding RISU Care. Creating an organization that enhances the quality of life for others has been one of the most fulfilling milestones of my career.
I adapt seamlessly to changes, which I believe is essential in both personal growth and professional success.
The impact that my team and I at RISU Care make every day in the lives of people drives me to continually improve and expand our reach.
I consider myself an explorer of ideas, always eager to try out new concepts that, while they might not always work, often lead to innovative solutions.
My favorite mantra is, "Be the change you wish to see in the world." This resonates deeply with me as it reflects my motivation in both work and personal life.
I’m committed to making a positive impact in the lives of our clients and their families. At RISU Care, I’m proud to be part of a team that shares my dedication to promoting independence, dignity, and inclusion for all. If you have any questions or need assistance, I’m here to help!
Throughout my career, I've been dedicated to developing tailored care plans that meet the unique needs and goals of each individual. I firmly believe in fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. My expertise in the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) allows me to guide clients seamlessly through their support journey, ensuring they have access to the resources and assistance they need.

One of my biggest personal achievements is moving interstate and successfully adjusting to a new environment, building new routines, connections, and confidence along the way.
One of my achievements was making the decision to move from a payroll background into the disability support sector. While payroll provided me with strong administrative and organisational skills, I wanted my work to have deeper purpose.

I am a proud mum of three. Outside of work, I’m very much in my busy mum era. You’ll usually find me juggling family life, cheering loudly for my sons’ soccer teams, or supporting my daughter backstage while she dances her heart away.
I thrive in organised chaos, balancing schedules, people, and responsibilities with a sense of humour and a lot of caffeine. Family is at the heart of everything I do, and I bring that same care, kindness and patience into my admin role every day.

“Treat others the way you would like to be treated.” The Golden Rule
I work at Risucare in dual roles as a Bookkeeper and a Disability Support Worker. As a Bookkeeper, I am responsible for managing payroll, handling pay processing, and responding to employee pay queries accurately and efficiently.
One of my greatest personal achievements is becoming someone my parents are proud of. I have successfully completed my MBA and MPA, reflecting my commitment to education, discipline, and personal growth. In 2015, following the devastating earthquake in Nepal, I observed Sostani Brata(Shree Madavnarayan), a month-long period of fasting and prayer. Completing this sacred vow during such a challenging time strengthened my faith, resilience, and sense of responsibility toward my culture and community. Together, these experiences have shaped who I am today—grounded, determined, and grateful.
I’m the go-to person for my inner circle—call me anytime, I’ll show up. I trust easily and lead with my heart… but put a cockroach near me and I’m OUT 🪳😄
What drives me in life - at work and at home—is the chance to make a positive impact on others. The biggest joy comes from seeing my family smile. I stay motivated through hard work, patience, embracing change, and the freedom to grow and care.
I have a natural ability to connect with people, earn their trust, and be a reliable go-to person in any situation. I can motivate, support, and uplift others while staying patient and calm under pressure.
