Member of FCA (Financial Counselling Australia), accredited member of FCAQ (Financial Counselling Association of Queensland)
Carolyn has worked as an accredited Financial Counsellor for over 25 years and has been a trainer with Eva Burrows College since 2014.
Her career in financial counselling has been based mostly in Victoria and Queensland, but she has also been involved with every State and Territory (except ACT), either as a trainer or as a supervisor. Currently, Carolyn also works as an external professional supervisor which sees her work closely with Financial Counsellors in the workplace. She really enjoys the exposure this gives her to service provision approaches across different client demographics and to a range of financial counselling and financial literacy agency approaches.
“There have been more and more changes in what we all need to do just to keep track of household finances. For those experiencing any sort of vulnerability, keeping up with bills and avoiding debt traps has become more complex and troublesome. When combined with low incomes, seeing a Financial Counsellor or a Financial Literacy Worker can be a huge relief.”
Carolyn loves supporting students of financial counselling and financial literacy to be equipped to assist those in need, and her greatest desire for each student is that they too will go on to contribute to the welfare of those in financial hardship, and, to the general advancement of financial well-being in our communities.
She commends you for considering this area of study and looks forward to meeting you and being involved in your study journey.
