About Me

My name is Roesy, I’m an Irish singer, songwriter, and visual artist living in Australia for 14 years with a creative career spanning three decades of writing, recording, exhibiting and touring.While writing an album back in 2018, I needed time flexibility and drove Uber in Melbourne for a year. The conversations I valued most were with older passengers and people navigating extraordinary life circumstances. That curiosity led me to study aged and disability support.I completed a nine-month Certificate III in Individual Support, which included a placement of over 190 hours split between residential aged care and palliative care. It was hands-on and a deeply formative event in my life. Since then, I’ve worked in the sector for over six years.In that time, I’ve supported people with a wide range of needs and ways of communicating, some non-verbal, some living with complex conditions, some near the end of life.

I hold all up-to-date Police Checks, Working With Children Clearance, Public Liability Insurance, and current First Aid & CPR certification.

The Creative Compass is tools I can share from experience, using creativity as my own medicine, prescribed by me, for me.If interested, here's links to my own return journey back to creativity:
