Summary
Dynamic and observant, I gained invaluable insights into injury rehabilitation and exercise-based treatment techniques. My strong communication skills and attention to detail enhanced patient interactions, while my understanding of anatomy and movement laid a solid foundation for future clinical practice. This experience confirmed my passion for the physiotherapy profession and deepened my appreciation for evidence-based, client-centered care. Currently studying for a Bachelor of Applied Science (Exercise and Sport Science), I am committed to furthering my education through a Doctor of Physiotherapy, and making a meaningful impact in the field of rehabilitation.
