Summary
I am currently working as a physiotherapist within an independent private practice clinic in Australia. In February 2024, I am moving over the The United Kingdom to help progress my career and gain experience working overseas. I am hoping to utilise my current physiotherapy degree knowledge to transition in working in the medical devices space. I am excited about this new opportunity to work closely with both patients, surgeons and other medical staff to ensure appropriate equipment use and enhance patient outcomes.
