Krystal Tritton

CEO

Hello, I'm Krystal and I wear two important hats at roundsquared - as a dedicated Member since 2015 and currently serving as the CEO of roundsquared.  My journey at roundsquared began as the intake officer and has led me through roles as a Member/Consultant and Director, ultimately bringing me to the privilege of leading this organisation as CEO. The highlights of my role are working closely with the Lets Talk Speak Out group, a Member-led advocacy initiative, and witnessing the personal growth of the individuals we support. This is one of the most rewarding and fulfilling aspects of my role. I'm passionate about As CEO, my vision is for all roundsquared Members to thrive and live their best lives on their own terms. I'm driven by identifying gaps in Disability provision and make a positive impact by creating opportunities that empower our Members to actively participate in their communities. In my personal life, I'm a family person with two beautiful girls who I encourage to have open conversations and question the norm. Our downtime involves beach outings and hearty conversations around the dining table.

Ronnie Debrodt

Administration & Activities Officer

I joined roundsquared in 2023 and this is an exciting chapter in my professional life as roundsquared is a space that resonates with my core values. ​ My professional journey started in hospitality but over the last ten years I branched out to Project management of a Sydney based webinar company and was the Duty Manager of a Wildlife Park for the last five years. I’ve always enjoyed what I do but my heart craved an environment that cherishes people over profit margins and I have found that with roundsquared. Originally from the United States and having grown up in Sydney, I moved to the South Coast in 2004. Over two decades, this coastal haven has become more than a location; it became the backdrop to my flourishing family. My husband and I have four beautiful children and have just recently welcomed a grand daughter, all of whom bring us immense joy. While my children are getting older nothing will stop me from going beyond the boundaries of possibility when it comes to my family and career.

I’ve been part of the awesome South Coast team at roundsquared since July 2022, and I’m loving every minute of it! Before this, I spent 13 years with the Department of Human Services, and that experience still drives the work I do today.

Now, I live in the beautiful Eurobodalla with my husband and our three amazing kids. Two of my children and my husband have NDIS plans, so I know firsthand how tricky the system can be.
