Summary


Since graduating as a Chiropractor in 2000, I initially worked as a locum throughout Victoria and WA, overseeing and running busy clinics. I opened a successful Chiropractic business in 2004. Over the past 19 years I have employed and managed numerous administration and Chiropractic staff members. I am a driven individual. I have excellent self motivation, time management and communication skills. I am able to put clients at ease quickly whilst also maintaining professionalism and work flow efficiency.
