This is episode 06 and today I talk with Emily Ayles to discover how she goes about connecting people with disability to sport through her work at Novita in South Australia.


🎙️ About our guest

Emily Ayles is the connectability project officer at Novita, which is a leading disability service provider in South Australia. Emily has been delivering the Connectability service at Novita for over 12 years, and like me, and hopefully like you Emily loves to see the difference that sport can make in people's lives. In addition to this, Emily is a national classifier for the Paralympic sport of Boccia and is an experienced practitioner in Para-sport and adaptive physical activity.
