OUR MESH FAMILY

Priscilla Tyrrell

CEO

Priscilla is an accomplished business leader with more than 25 years of experience across the mining, agriculture, and retail sectors. As the owner, founder, director, and CEO of several successful ventures, she has always maintained a strong family focus. The birth of her youngest son, Charlie, in 2010, who lives with complex disabilities, became a defining moment that profoundly shaped Priscilla’s career and purpose.

As a mother, full-time carer, and business owner, her journey as a caregiver ignited her passion for disability advocacy and support. Having lived through the challenges and victories of raising a child with disabilities, Priscilla brings both personal experience and professional expertise to Mesh Ability Academy. Her commitment is to create meaningful opportunities and provide exceptional disability services that empower individuals and families.
