Jyaah Wilson
Jyaah is a 27-year-old mentor originally from Adelaide. After spending several years living in New Zealand, he returned to Adelaide in 2012, where he now lives permanently. He is a laid-back mentor who values balance in life and enjoys going to the gym, gaming on Xbox, attending local TCG meet-ups and tournaments, and spending time with his niece. A proud nerd at heart, Jyaah enjoys connecting with participants through shared interests such as trading card games and Star Wars.
Jyaah has a strong passion for disability awareness, shaped by growing up alongside his cousin Cody, who lives with non-verbal autism. This experience taught him empathy, adaptability, and the importance of taking each day as it comes. He brings these values into his mentoring practice, consistently self-reflecting to ensure he provides high-quality, person-centred support that he would be proud for his own family to receive.
