Meet the team: Marissa Sherry
Introducing Marissa, Senior Program Coordinator in the selectability Mount Isa team.
Having worked in child protection and human services for over 20 years Marissa brings a wealth of experience to our supported independent living (SIL) team.
Coming from a diverse background Marissa has experience working at all levels of government and also with non-government agencies delivering services.
“I hope to combine my background with children and young people with the services provided by selectability to improve and achieve sustainable outcomes for consumers,” said Marissa.
Originally from Brisbane Marissa ventured out west to Mount Isa for what was meant to be two years but 15 years later she is still there having settled with her family.
“For the last 14 years I have been working in Mount Isa in the child safety sector working with carers, children and young people.
“Working with young people and children has also given me a lot of experience in supporting people with a range of mental health and wellbeing needs.”
Joining the SIL team as Senior Program Coordinator Marissa will work alongside the selectability team supporting children in the child protection system that need residential care.
