Working for the Australian Paralympic Committee since 2005 as a Development Officer and then as the Manager, Education, Winters helped to create both the Paralympic Talent Search Program and the Paralympic Education Program. In 2008, she became the Marketing and Sponsorship Manager and travelled to Beijing and London, liaising closely with the APC’s sponsors.
