Why New Light Co.
We really believe that people are our biggest resource, and they should be treated with care.
Meet Jo, Founder of New Light Co.
Jo has lived with a chronic autoimmune condition since six months of age, which has brought more physical and mental challenges as she has grown into adult life. She has not let this stop her from living a full life. Her working life spans over 30 years, with 30 years of lived experience navigating illness and a career.
Jo has formal qualifications in Business Marketing and Advertising, Risk Management, Counselling Psychology, and is currently finishing her Master's in Business Psychology. She believes in lifelong learning and applies that principle to her own life.
She has worked in Senior Manager roles for over eight years and has firsthand experience of the complexities of managing an illness and career. She also runs a support group for Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis patients and has been a patient advocate and ambassador since 2011, with her community work winning a Healthy Skin Award through the Skin and Cancer Foundation and a nomination for Australian of the Year.
Jo's resilience and perseverance have helped her navigate life's complications, and she believes her skills and experience can help others.
We get that life isn't easy for any of us, but New Light Co. aims to help you and your organisation find the light in times of darkness.
