Meet the EPIC Southport team

Samantha started her employment journey with EPIC Assist back in October 2014. Prior to this, she worked in Aged Care and hospitality. Sam said she enjoys working for an organisation that makes a difference, and working within a team of like minded people with the same goals. Sam wants to be a part of a society where everyone has equal opportunities and are treated fairly. “While this may be only one part of that puzzle, it is a part that I can make a difference in.” When Sam’s not helping make positive changes to our participants lives, she is with her family, puppy, out by the water in the Redlands and exercising.

Kelly has been a part of the EPIC team since August 2021, but her life experiences have truly prepared her for his role. “My daughter has ADHD with mild autism, other family members have disabilities also.” Kelly’s life experience has encouraged her to use these skills to help others to overcome their own barriers. Knowing I am a part of EPIC’s vision to be the most innovative and unique provider of human and community services. Having the resources to go above and beyond for our job seekers. I love supporting everyone as an individual.” Kelly was drawn to the Employment Consultant role because she is extremely passionate about community services and loves to help people. “I’m passionate about what I do and being able to deliver 10/10 customer experience.”

This is Lee’s first role within disability employment services, and he is very grateful to be part of the EPIC Family. Although a new team member at EPIC Assist, Lee comes from a mixed background of experience and feels that identifying and building rapport with people from all walks of life is his specialty. This is more of a life aspiration then just a job to Lee; being paid to help people, ensure their success, and helping them grow, makes Lee feel good about himself. In Lee’s opinion if you’re going to live a life, leave a legacy – and help others have their own.

Cheryl joined EPIC in September 2022 with over 20 years prior experience working in Disability Employment Services. Her favourite thing about working for EPIC is the supportive environment and watching someone’se life change when your find the right employer. She loves the dynamism: there are no two days the same, yet each day you are working towards a purpose and to help others. In her spare time, Cheryl loves to spend time with her family and play badminton.
