Meet our team

At futures in sight we have a great team working together to get the best outcomes for people. ​

​Rathy

​I have more than 15 years’ experience working in the private sector focusing on customer service.  I’ve worked as an Account Maintenance Officer and an Investigation Officer for one of the major banks and maintained business accounts for companies such as P&O Container, GE Finance, Pricewaterhouse Coopers.  I enjoy helping my customers and providing service to others. I believe good customer service is one of the key factors in establishing a company’s reputation. 

Through my son, Nilesh, who has Autism, I have gained a lot of experience working with children with disability.  I feel privileged to be part of fis and I am dedicated to helping participants. I enjoy nature and am passionate about flowers. I love gardening and I keep tropical plants and flowers in my garden. I also teach authentic Sri Lankan cooking in my son’s school community.
​

Annie

I came to fis in 2020 after many years as an English Language teacher working at colleges and universities in Australia, Vietnam and Chile. Some abilities I’ve found essential both in my last job and at fis are clear communication and a focus on the needs of others. My past work experience also includes administration in employee relations and market research. I thought I would miss the relationships with students but, after a year, it has been rewarding to form new relationships in my role in the Invoice Processing Team. 
 
I live in Katoomba and find beauty in the cold, misty weather and the stunning nature of this region. I am happiest hanging out with my kids and enjoying good food and wine. I am also known to spend time bushwalking, throwing boozy dinner parties and going out to hear live music – usually not all on the same day.

Aether

I work at fis in the data processing team. With my personal experience of disability and ableism I very much value the work I do at fis. I want to make the world more positive in any way I can.

I am 21 years old and living independently with my cat. I have a strong passion for music and play the piano professionally.  I love video games, especially ones by smaller creators. 

I took this photo when I visited Singapore Aquarium. I think it makes a good icon.

Jeongmin (Cecilia)

I am from a Korean cultural background and speak both Korean and English. My passion is to assist people with disability to lead their own life without barriers in the community and to support people in developing their abilities to fulfil their full potential. I have extensive experience working with people with disability and their families, especially from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) background. 
I have established solid community relationships and have actively participated in and led community events and projects with different roles for past 15 years. With my professional background in Music Education, I have helped people with autism and other disabilities to become a musician and successfully presented inclusive concerts, “Music for All” until 2019. 
When not working, I enjoy playing the piano, spending time in my lovely small garden tending vegetables and plants, and walking in nature: I love the earthy smell of rain and to hear the sound of the wind rustling in trees.

Donna

I’ve always had people with disabilities around me and it seemed only natural way back in the eighties to leave a corporate role to work directly alongside people with a disability.
Over the years, I’ve helped people move out of institutions into their own homes, managed accommodation and advocacy services and run State-wide individualised funding programs.  I’ve also developed and delivered training packages and evaluated services along the way.
 
I love to cook (at least one new recipe each week), drink beer on a Friday afternoon and explore new (but old) places around the world. The picture is me in the oldest pub in Nottingham, located in a cave under a castle not far from the famous forest.

Bill

I’ve been working at futures in sight as a Data Entry officer since November 2020.  My role involves processing invoices for NDIS participants.  This job allows me to work from home and is very flexible with time. This means I have more time for my family and my other work commitments. I also work at Diversity and Disability Alliance as a peer facilitator and an Admin Assistant. 
 
I am hardworking, kind and friendly. I am comfortable sharing my knowledge and I am particularly passionate about public transport. I enjoy showing people how to navigate Opal networks.  I like to travel on public transport to different venues and explore different places across NSW.

Rima

I have been a Support Coordinator for 3 years. I came into the role as I have a 19 year old son with cerebral palsy and as a parent have faced many challenges advocating for my son and dealing with all of the bureaucracy  involved with getting the best possible outcomes for my son in school, university and his life in general. Whilst I support participants who have a broad range of disabilities, my specialities are people with cerebral palsy and other physical disabilities. My belief is that no matter your disability, you deserve the best possible life and an NDIS Plan which gives you the best opportunities in life.
 
My other passions include travelling, swimming in the ocean, Zumba, reading and making the most of life’s special moments, especially with my son. This would include taking him to Machu Pichu (he is in a wheelchair), going on safaris or relaxing with a nice cocktail by the beach.       

Virginia

I have worked in a wide variety of roles supporting children and adults with disabilities and their families for over 30 years.  I am passionate about working alongside people to realise their goals and dreams, no matter how big or small. I work with people in the Blue Mountains and Nepean areas and am well connected with local support services. 
​
I like to spend time with family and friends and my adored border collie Milo. I enjoy being part of the wonderful Blue Mountains community and in my spare time like to explore the bush, read, cook and daydream. 

​

Sophie

I have over 15 years’ experience working in the disability sector both here in Australia and the UK. I’m passionate about making the NDIS work for individuals and supporting people throughout their NDIS journey.
 
I’m fanatical about food, in particular brunch and love trying out the new cafes in and around Sydney: although often will get the exact same thing of Smashed Avo and poached eggs!

I live in the Eastern Suburbs with my husband and sons Henry and Felix.

Marti 

I have experience in disability working across a range of different service types and enjoy working with people of all ages.
I am passionate about working in collaboration with people with disabilities, their families, carers, therapists, and educators to support the development of each individual’s skills, to reach their potential and aspirations, and to have fun doing it. 
I studied psychology in America, came to Australia in 1994, and my loves include my family and friends, travel, cycling, good food and wine, and exploring the natural world.
​

Meg

When we asked Meg to write her bio, she just refused.

So, one thing we can say about Meg is that she is intensely private.
​
She is also an amazing data entry person. Meg can 'unpack' really complicated invoices and she is great at picking up errors and so she benefits loads of people with disability who have plan management wiht futures in sight.

Barbel

​I have been working alongside people with disability for a very long time. I have been a community development officer, an advocate, a trainer, a manager.
​In the last 10 years or so I have been working for myself and was lucky enough to do lots of development work and training together with and for people with disability and disability services.
I am forever looking for opportunities and ways to do something new and a bit different.
The photo just about sums it all up.  I like traveling, bushwalking, looking intently into…well… nothing much and getting way too often, way too close to the cliff.

Diana​

I acquired a physical disability in China and came to Australia with my family when I was thirteen with two words of English between us.

​I am passionate about making full inclusion a reality for people with disability from diverse backgrounds and have worked in disability for 25 years. I have held leadership roles in the government and non-government sectors and have developed extensive expertise in strategic policy and research, cultural competence, service design and delivery, training, organisational and project management. 
 
I hold a degree in Applied Science, an Honours degree in Social Science and a Masters in Public Administration. I am also a certified Bookkeeper. I love music, art, food, travel and most of all, sharing all these things with my family and friends.

Sarah

​I grew up in south-west Sydney, where both mental health and disability shaped the lives of loved family members. My passion lies in championing participant-centred care and advocating for the NDIS to enhance the quality of life for its participants.

I have over 13 years of experience in the corporate sector, with diverse roles such as handling high-end customer escalations, administration, and managing and delivering events, I knew it was time for a change.

In my personal life, I find joy in my family (mum of two young girls), food, gardening, coffee, baking and making sourdough. As if that's not enough, I've recently started making candles!
