EMILY’S STORY
Following a harrowing stroke in 2012, Emily showed amazing grit and determination. Throughout her recovery Emily never wavered. She fulfilled a year of gruelling physical rehabilitation followed by completing a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) majoring in Human Resource Management and then a Masters in Disability Policy and Practice (MDPP).
Emily shifted her focus into a new business, becoming a registered NDIS provider, now the fastest growing and most innovative disability housing service provider in South Australia and Victoria.
Her company, BET Group Global, has a strong mission to “change the narrative by creating a future where people with disabilities have REAL CHOICE and access to ALL opportunities, not just some, not a few, but ALL opportunities”. As an extension to this, Emily continues to advocate for Choice and Control for people with disabilities living in the bush in Australia and seeks to build the first accessible respite home in Kenya for children with disabilities.
EMILY'S ACHIEVEMENTS
Today, Emily is the embodiment of true success, supporting and growing two multi-million dollar businesses which she helms.
