Summary

I am a final year physiotherapy student with a strong interest in musculoskeletal practice and a commitment to delivering high quality, patient-centred care. With previous life and professional experience, I bring empathy, strong communication skills, and the ability to build rapport with people from diverse backgrounds.

I am calm under pressure, organised, and reflective in my practice. My clinical placements have confirmed my passion for private practice, and I am eager to continue learning and contributing in a collaborative team environment. I also maintain a strong community focus through volunteer work with my sons’ local sporting clubs, which has deepened my appreciation for active, engaged communities.
