🌟 Happy Tuesday Everyone !
This morning, we’re thrilled to introduce another amazing member of the Casa family — Janet Wright, our Client Services Manager!
Janet joined Casa in August and has already made a remarkable impact with her leadership, compassion, and dedication to supporting both our clients and team.
Originally from Maryland in the United States, she first arrived in Alice Springs in 1996 on a work visa. Her early work in accounting and forensic audits in remote communities led to a position with MHACA, where she discovered a passion for client services since then, she has built an impressive career, including serving as CEO in both disability and legal advocacy organisations, always with a focus on improving the lives of others.
After several years in South Australia and Darwin, she returned to Alice Springs in February 2025. She shares that what she values most about the community is its warmth, friendliness, and the unique interconnectedness that makes this region so special. She looks forward to building strong relationships and expanding services that make a meaningful impact for people with disabilities. Outside of work, she lives on a small farm where she cares for two goats, thirty rescued birds, two dogs, a horse, a duck, and several chickens. A creative at heart, she enjoys painting, sewing, building projects, and restoring her 1972 Reno bus. She is also a dedicated girl guide leader and is known for her thoughtful gestures, such as recently surprising a friend with a replacement swing. She values personal, one-on-one connections with colleagues and clients and is guided by a strong commitment to a person-centred approach in her work.
We’re so excited to have Janet on board and can’t wait to see the continued difference she’ll make here at Casa!
