Dwi
Group Manager |  Support Staff

Meet Dwi, our resident joy-bringer who's always up for an adventure – whether it's in a video game, on a snowy slope, or on the Jiu Jitsu mat. This horror movie buff isn't scared of much, except maybe boredom and funky smells! When he's not streaming on Twitch or reeling in the big ones, Dwi's probably whipping up something tasty in the kitchen or creating cool stuff with his 3D printer. His mission? Turning frowns upside down and making sure everyone's having a blast.

Maren
Services & Booking Coordinator 

Maren's playlist is as diverse as her bookshelf! This trivia buff loves challenging herself with facts—just not the geography kind. She enjoys both hitting the soccer field and cozying up with a great movie. Spicy foods and mushrooms are off the menu, and she’s not a fan of summer, but her passion for learning, especially about the brain, never cools. Maren thrives on making a difference and being part of an accepting community.

Support Staff 

Kel is passionate about family, fairness, and helping others thrive. She loves spending time with her family, watching her kids’ sports, and taking her two staffy dogs on outdoor adventures. Whether she’s soaking up sunshine, planning events, or enjoying outings with friends, Kel thrives in positive environments.

Joseph
Support Staff 

Tattoos, bouldering, and a dash of nerdiness – that's Joseph in a nutshell. When he's not scaling walls, he's diving deep into his psychology studies, always eager to understand what makes people tick. TV show theories? He's got plenty. Jokes? Even more. Joseph brings a laid-back vibe to the team, making connections as easily as he cracks a smile. Just don't expect him to show up in corduroy or order avocado toast.

Charlee
Support Staff 

Charlee is passionate about art, crafts, and supporting others to grow their skills. Outside of work, she loves being outdoors - whether that’s swimming, diving, hiking, or bushwalking. Charlee has a soft spot for all things fluffy (especially ducks, platypuses, and pillows) and enjoys animation and fresh fruit -  just not bananas or anything banana-flavoured!

Connor
Catering | Facilities 

Connor's the guy who'll dive into a friendly chat about politics faster than you can say "election." He's always up for mind-bending conversations that challenge his thinking. When he's not exercising his brain cells, Connor's either lost in a good book, catching the latest flick, or on a culinary adventure around the world (from his dinner table, that is). Family time and dog cuddles are his happy place. Just don't spring any last-minute surprises on him!

Abby
Support Staff 

Certified animal lover — if it has fur and goes meow or woof, I’m obsessed.
I enjoy outdoor activities and planning trips, and that perfect lazy afternoon coffee. I also like watching K-dramas, tidying up, and making sure everything is perfectly in place — I love things neat, cozy, and organised. I might look quiet and calm on the outside, but trust me — warm, goofy heart inside.
Can’t eat spicy food, and if a bug shows up… I’m gone faster than Wi-Fi dropping.

Support Staff 

I have a friendly, easy-going personality. I love men's fashion as well as sneaker collecting. Always happy to jump in and learn new things. I have always had a passion for making change and giving back to the community. My parents are my number one hero!

Agil
Support Staff 

A lover of sports, laughter and great conversation! Whether I'm on the mats training Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling or learning a new skill, I'm always on the move. I'm a firm believer in the power of a positive attitude and love connecting people from all walks of life. I'm always up for a chat and a laugh, and I look forward to bringing that high energy and curiosity to our community.

Chris
Support Staff 

Chris is a born-and-bred Canberra local who bleeds green—yet our participants still manage to surprise him with "hidden gem" spots he didn’t know existed. A paramedic in training, Chris has swapped his adrenaline-junkie days (like conquering the Nevis bungee jump despite a fear of heights!) for a focus on community wellbeing. When he’s not studying, you’ll find him honing his cooking skills, chilling with family, or slowly ticking off every escape room in the city.

IMG_8810.jpg

Caitlin
Support Staff 

Caitlin's love of dogs is rivalled only by her love of music. Whether she's studying, going for a walk or doing chores, she always has her headphones out and a playlist on. She enjoys relaxing in nature, with lots of bushwalks and occasional camping trips, but she isn't a fan when the weather gets too cold. At home, you'll find her watching a doco on just about anything from history to true crime to animals - she also has a soft spot for David Attenborough! Caitlin is passionate about making meaningful connections with others and it's her goals to make everyone feel seen and included.
