Helen Angela Taylor - CEO Jigsaw Qld
Episode description
In the final episode of Season 5, 2024, we have the pleasure of introducing Jigsaw Qld's CEO, Helen Angela Taylor. Helen has been in the CEO seat since July and has been an absolute gift. She is an adoptee who discovered Jigsaw in 1991 following a move to Brisbane from Sydney. A few years later, she reunited with her mother and father and attended her first peer support group at Jigsaw in 2019, realising the power of the adoption community to support her healing.
Helen has considerable experience in frontline social justice service delivery in the Queensland Government with the Department of Justice and Attorney-General, Department of Corrective Services and the Office of the Adult Guardian.
