My experience as a disability support worker has equipped me with practical skills in assisting individuals with daily living activities, promoting independence, and supporting participation in meaningful occupations. I am skilled in therapeutic communication, building rapport, and working collaboratively with families, carers, and multidisciplinary teams. I am committed to applying these experiences to occupational therapy practice to empower clients to achieve their goals.
