Magdalena Paczkowska
Magdalena has always been passionate about supporting and empowering people. With qualifications and experience across early childhood, special education, social work and physiotherapy, she brings over 25 years of relevant industry experience to every engagement, working directly with individuals who have complex needs, their families, and their carers.
As a Senior Support Coordinator and Early Intervention Key Worker at My Ability Services, Magdalena navigates the NDIS on behalf of real participants daily. That frontline experience is what she brings to CollabEdge Solutions as Strategic Advisor, grounding every recommendation in operational reality, not theory.
