A bartender for the better part of the last decade, Paul began his journey into youth work in 2020 after, like many people, the pandemic prompted a thorough reassessment of his life and career goals.
Searching for a way to give back to the community, Paul started his journey with BYS in early 2021 as a Youth Worker at Sandgate House before becoming Manager of Windsor House. As of 2024 Paul’s expertise and passion for advocating for young people is now utilised in his current role as Specialist Housing Program Manager, where he oversees Brisbane Youth Service’s supported accommodation programs, housing 22 young people at five sites across Brisbane.
