Alanah hicks
Founder
Hi, my name is Alanah and I am the founder of Ever Empower. I have worked as a disability support worker for over 8 years, and before this I worked as a swim teacher supporting children to build confidence in the water.
In 2022, I graduated with a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy. I have always had a strong passion for supporting children with disabilities to grow, learn, and reach their potential. My experience as both a support worker and an Occupational Therapist has given me a deep understanding of how the right support can make a real difference in a child’s life.
Outside of work I am very active and love staying busy, but you will often find me out and about with one of the Ever Empower kids. I truly love what I do and I feel incredibly passionate about advocacy, inclusion, and empowering children and families to feel confident and supported.
